VOICED : Puigdemont asegura que puede presidir Cataluna desde Belgica

Carles Puigdemont, the Catalan independence leader, stated he could govern Catalonia from Belgium, arguing that he cannot be both president and a prisoner. His comments come amid consultations by the new Catalan Parliament president, Roger Torrent, to promote a candidate for investiture after the December 21 elections, where secessionists won an absolute majority. Puigdemont, removed from the regional presidency by Mariano Rajoy's government, is the sole candidate after an agreement between his list, Together for Catalonia, and the Republican Left of Catalonia. The government plans to challenge a non-presential investiture in the Constitutional Court, as many jurists claim it does not fit the regulations. The regional president's appointment must be signed by King Felipe VI.
