Carles Puigdemont in Denmark today

A SPANISH judge denied an extradition warrant against Carles Puigdemont today, believing that granting it would further the former Catalan president’s cause of regional independence.

Supreme Court Judge Pablo Llarena turned down the national prosecutor’s request for a European arrest warrant against Mr Puigdemont after he flew from Brussels to the Danish capital Copenhagen.

Mr Puigdemont spoke at the University of Copenhagen today and was set to meet MPs today.
