Today, exiled Catalan president
Carles Puigdemont has been in Northern Catalonia - on the French side of the Pyrenean border. The reason for his visit: to
pay homage to another president, Francesc Macià, at the Vil·la Denise, the Prats de Molló house from which he organized what was intended to be an armed uprising in Catalonia in 1926, during the first of Spain s 20th century dictatorships, that of Primo de Rivera. Puigdemont stressed the symbolic component of the visit.
