Catalan Separatist Leader Back in Spain despite Warrant

Catalan separatist leader Carles Puigdemont has appeared before a throng of supporters in Barcelona after seven years of self-imposed exile and despite a pending warrant for his arrest, according to a Reuters witness.

Puigdemont climbed onto a stage surrounded by officials of his hard line separatist party Junts at the Arc de Triomf monument near the Catalan parliament and addressed thousands of cheering supporters in Catalan, AAP reported.

"I've come today to remind you that we're still here," he told them on Thursday.

His arrival appeared unhindered by police.
