Catalan president in exile, Carles Puigdemont, has tweeted a reply to the president of the European Parliament, Antonio Tajani, after the latter informed him that he cannot consider him a future MEP because he is not in the list of elected MEPs that he received from the Spanish government.
The Spanish authorities have published the list of elected MEPs in the Official Gazette. Our names were there. Why does Mr. Tajani say that we have not been proclaimed? Here is the link to Official Gazette in case you are interested, @Antonio_Tajani https://t.co/09boL7H1t1 pic.twitter.com/rVFGH9cvz5

Puigdemont, who is in Geneva taking part in the Crans Montana Forum, has attached the list of elected MEPs that was published in the Spanish Official Gazette (BOE) where his name and the names of Oriol Junqueras and Toni Comín are listed, and he asks: "Why is Tajani saying we have not been officially designated MEPs?".
