Puigdemont's lawyer, Gonzalo Boye leaves the premises of the Parliament and goes to the Arc de Triomf, where the act of welcome to Puigdemont organized by pro-independence entities has taken place at Passeig Lluís Companys, on August 8, 2024, in Barcelona, Catalonia (Spain). Said rally has been called by pro-independence entities, with the assistance of Junts, ERC, CUP, ANC, Òmnium Cultural, CDR and Associació de Municipis per la Independència (AMI). Puigdemont has offered a speech in this welcoming act, and after that, he has disappeared, after almost seven years settled in Belgium due to the judicial consequences of the 'procés', and with an arrest warrant.
