Steven Bergen reports from Barcelona this morning.
I’m not sure if anyone was actually expecting him to show up, but at nine o’clock sharp he showed up, and it was as if he’d never been gone.
There was already a nostalgic air about a time when many gathered here believed independence was within reach. Slogans on T-shirts spoke of 12 years of rallies and demonstrations that ultimately brought not independence but hatred and division, and the first non-nationalist Catalan government in two decades.
In 2017, right here Carles Puigdemont He appeared on the big screen and proclaimed the establishment of the Republic, only to have it called off eight seconds later. For those eight seconds, the Separatists thought their dream had come true, but it was a quick journey from jubilation to disappointment.

Who is Carles Puigdemont?
Puigdemont is a Catalan separatist from the Catalan Junts party. He served as regional president from 2016 to 2017. He has been living in self-chosen exile for the past seven years.
After fleeing Spain to avoid arrest for his role in a failed separatist movement, leaving other members of his cabinet facing trial and imprisonment, he reinvented himself in the small Belgian town of Waterloo as a member of the European Parliament and leader of what he called a “government in exile” in Catalonia. Others were less kindly of him, seeing him as an “operetta nationalist”, a tired and devalued figure.
But in May, Spanish lawmakers finally approved a highly controversial amnesty law put forward by the Socialist prime minister. Pedro Sanchezoffered it to Catalan separatists in return for help returning to power after last year’s inconclusive general elections.
But in July, Spain’s Supreme Court upheld arrest warrants for Puigdemont and others accused of misappropriating public funds, ruling that the amnesty law did not apply to them.
This week, Puigdemont announced he would attend the swearing-in ceremony for the region’s new leader at the Catalan parliament in Barcelona. Salvador Ira He is set to be appointed the new president of Catalonia.
