In an interview with the Catalan News Agency last month, Aamer Anwar,
Ponsatí’s lawyer, claimed that the Spanish authorities are making "an abuse of the European arrest warrants”
in trying to extradite Catalan officials abroad, and he accused the
Spanish judiciary of “changing the rules of the game” to ensure the
officials are returned to Spain. "The Spanish authorities keep shifting
the goalposts. They can’t keep trying once, and then twice and then
three and four times,” he said, calling such behavior “unacceptable.”
