EU Observer (17 January 2020)

Two Catalan MEPs - the former head of the Catalan regional government, Carles Puigdemont, and one member of his government, Toni Comín - have asked to join the Greens/EFA group in the European Parliament - but indicated they are open to other groups.

But the two Catalan politicians face some opposition from one of the leaders of the group, Belgian MEP Philippe Lamberts, who has accused them of showing political sympathy to the Flemish nationalists (NVA), since they fled to Belgium in 2017.
