Puigdemont reappears in Prats de Molló, 13 kilometers from the border

The former president of the Generalitat Carles Puigdemont has gone by surprise to Prats de Molló, in Northern Catalonia, a town located 13 kilometers from the Spanish border. The reason was the official inauguration of the museumization project of Casa Macià, located in this town, according to 3Cat. This Sunday marks the centenary of what is known as the events of Prats de Molló, the attempted military invasion of Catalonia from France organized by the former president of the Republican Generalitat Francesc Macià.

A few days ago, Judge Pablo Llarena, the magistrate who investigated the process in the Supreme Court, closed the case against Puigdemont, the last step for the Criminal Chamber of the Supreme Court to definitively apply the amnesty and exempt him from all criminal responsibility.

In 2020, Puigdemont already visited Macià's house in Prats de Molló on the occasion of a tribute to the former president of the Generalitat, in which he made a wreath with the mayor of the French town of Catalunya del Nord, Claude Ferrer.

The museumization project of Casa Macià as a memory space coincides with the centenary of the events of Prats de Molló. To recover the building where Macià lived, which an individual bought in 2020, a foundation has been created, chaired by former councilor Lluís Puig. Among the members of the board are former presidents Puigdemont, Aragonès and Torra.
