The head of the office of the former president of the Generalitat Carles Puigdemont, Josep Lluís Alayhas once again requested by letter to the Minister of the Interior of the Catalan Government, Joan Ignasi Elena, to provide escorts for the former president given the increase in “dangerousness and risk towards his person”, detected “for a few weeks”.
In the letter, Alay asks Elena to assign bodyguards “immediately and as a matter of urgency.”“, “given the serious situation of insecurity that persists in the case of Carles Puigdemont five years after the creation of his office.”

Also remember that He already asked Elena to provide escorts for Puigdemont 22 months ago, that this request has remained unanswered and that the Ministry of the Interior has established by law the competence to provide “material and human” resources to the offices of the former presidents. “Since the creation of the Office of President Carles Puigdemont in July 2018, we have been demanding compliance with this responsibility without any success, rather with silence as a response,” the letter adds.
The dissemination of this letter comes the same day that the proposed amnesty law was registered in the Congress of Deputies, which could benefit the former Minister of the Interior Miquel Buch, sentenced to four and a half years in prison for signing up as an advisor to a mosso d’esquadra to act de facto as Puigdemont’s bodyguard.
