Описание: (31 Oct 2017) Ousted Catalonian cabinet official Joaquim Forn arrived at Barcelona-El Prat airport on Tuesday night where he was surrounded by media and unionist protesters shouting, singing and waving Spanish flags.
Forn was the region's interior minister until he and the rest of the cabinet were fired by the central government last week.
Minister of Labour Social Affairs and Families Dolors Bassa also arrived back in Barcelona on Tuesday night.
The two had been in Brussels where former Catalan President Carles Puigdemont Tuesday presented the secessionist movement as persecuted underdogs.
All 14 members of the sacked Catalan Cabinet are facing possible rebellion charges at home for driving a secessionist bid to a full declaration of independence on 27 October.
A judge has ordered them to appear for questioning in Madrid on Thursday.
