MADRID, Jan. 21 (Xinhua) -- Spanish prosecutor will ask the Spanish Supreme Court to reactivate the European arrest warrant if ex-Catalan leader, Carles Puigdemont, travels to Denmark, Spain's General Prosecution office reported on Sunday.
Puigdemont might travel on Monday to Denmark to take part in a debate organized by the Department of Political Science at the University of Copenhagen. If police authorities confirm this trip, Spanish prosecutor would ask the judge of the Spanish Supreme Court, Pablo Llarena, to reactive the European arrest warrant.
Llarena had withdrawn the European arrest warrant at the beginning of December because the crime of "rebellion" does not exist in Belgium so if Puigdemont was returned to Spain by the Belgian authorities he would be facing the lesser charge of misuse of public funds.
He said, however, Puigdemont and the other four former councilors who went to Brussels after the independence of the region was declared on Oct. 27, would be arrested as soon as they enter Spain.
Puigdemont's lawyer said that if he travels to Denmark there was a high risk of him being arrested.
Meanwhile, Puigdemont was proposed to become again the president of the regional government of Catalonia after pro-independence parties won the regional elections called by Spain's Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy.
The Spanish government applied the article 155 of the Spanish constitution which allowed the central government to intervene some areas of the regional institutions.
Rajoy commented on Monday that his government would maintain Article 155 should Puigdemont be chosen to return to his former post.
