Madrid fights appointment to Puigdemont at court

The Spanish government is going to challenge the candidacy of Carles Puigdemont as leader of the Catalan region at the Constitutional Court in Madrid.

According to Madrid, Puigdemont can not again become a leader of a Catalan government, partly because there is an arrest warrant in Spain against him. The parliament of Catalonia put forward Puigdemont as a candidate for regional leadership.
