STORYLINE:
The ousted President of Catalonia made his first public appearance in Belgium since he appeared in court on Sunday on an arrest warrant from Spain.
Around 200 mayors from Catalonia gathered in a Brussels art museum on Tuesday to show their support for Carles Puigdemont.
Spanish authorities removed him from office on 28 October and are seeking to extradite him to face possible rebellion charges.
Puigdemont and other former members of the regional government are being investigated for their roles promoting Catalonia's secession from Spain.
The mayors raised walking sticks - the symbol of mayoral power in Spain - in the air as they cheered Puigdemont.
The Catalan mayors rallied at the European Union's headquarters earlier in the day as around 100 opponents of breaking the region away from Spain rallied nearby.
