BBC: Catalonia crisis: Puigdemont's Denmark visit draws anger from Spain
Catalonia's former leader Carles Puigdemont has travelled to Denmark, triggering a failed attempt by Spain's prosecutor to have him arrested.
Mr Puigdemont's trip to Copenhagen is thought to be the first time he has left Belgium for about 80 days.
He fled there in October, after a failed independence bid was ruled illegal by the Spanish authorities.

Mr Puigdemont is wanted in Spain accused of rebellion, sedition and misuse of public funds. The charges carry a potential prison sentence of up to 30 years.
