Answer
Belgium became the refuge for Carles Puigdemont, the former President of Catalonia, in 2017. Puigdemont sought asylum in Belgium after facing charges of sedition and rebellion in Spain for his role in organizing a referendum on Catalan independence, which the Spanish government deemed illegal. He and several other Catalan leaders fled the country to avoid prosecution and have since been living in exile.
