The Mossos d'Esquadra activated a search and detain operation to locate a vehicle they suspect former regional leader Carles Puigdemont fled in after a speech in Barcelona.
Puigdemont, with an arrest warrant for his involvement in the 2017 independence referendum, failed to appear for the investiture debate to install a new regional premier.
Puigdemont, on the run for seven years, reappeared before a crowd, expressing persecution for seeking the voice of the Catalan people and asserting the right to self-determination.
Puigdemont also criticized the Spanish authorities for cracking down on Catalonia, leading to his continued exile and avoidance of arrest.
