Supporters celebrate as ousted Catalan lawmakers arrive in Barcleona

(2 Nov 2017) Catalan lawmakers and ousted officials who appeared in courts in Madrid for questioning returned to Barcelona on Thursday and were greeted by pro-independence supporters at a train station. The ex-officials were questioned as part of an investigation into possible rebellion charges for having declared the region's independence from Spain. Twenty regional politicians, including fired regional government president Carles Puigdemont, have been summoned to court after the chief prosecutor demanded they be charged with rebellion, sedition and embezzlement following the Catalan parliament's declaration of secession October 27. Puigdemont and four of his former ministers didn't appear, after arriving in Belgium earlier this week.
