The Constitutional Court declared admissible actions against the independence

USPA NEWS - The Spanish Constitutional Court on Thursday declared admissible actions brought by the conservative constitutionalist parties - the Popular Party, the Socialist Party and the centrist Citizens - against secessionist proposal in Catalonia.

As expected, the Constitutional Court accepted the resources, but is not expected to take any precautionary measure against the Plenary of the regional Parliament of Catalonia, which on Monday will vote on the proposal nationalists Junts pel Si and the CUP on the independence of Catalonia. The judges, explained to USPA News a spokesman of the High Court, they are not in favor of banning any parliamentary debate, even if it is on unconstitutional issues, preferring to act retrospectively. Therefore, the application of the remedies will be held in the ordinary way, seeking information from all parties but that lengthen the time.

The Constitutional Court unanimously appreciated that those resources meet the requirement under the "special constitutional significance" that requires the Organic Law of the Constitutional Court (LOTC its acronym in Spanish) "because it raises questions on which there is no doctrine this Court." Plenary also noted that "the issue goes beyond the specific case, to raise a legal issue relevant social impact, with general political consequences."

However, the decision of the Constitutional Court judges to adopt precautionary measures could change on Tuesday, once concluded the plenary session of the Catalan Parliament. If the plenary, which also plans to vote on the investiture of the new president of the regional Government of Catalonia, approved the proposed resolution in favor of independence, the Spanish Government, confirmed its president, Mariano Rajoy, will hold an extraordinary Council of Ministers Tuesday and will appeal against the decision of the Parliament of Catalonia.

The admissibility of the Constitutional Court of that governmental resource automatically paralyze all decisions of the Catalan Parliament and the handling of any law has been initiated. The separatists intend to immediately begin preparing three laws: the constitutional process, the Catalan Finance and the Social Security, fundamental to the establishment of the foundation of the new Republic of Catalonia. The recent reform of the Constitutional Court grants the power to impose sanctions if the Regional Parliament or the Catalan Government ignore its judgments.

Meanwhile, in Catalonia, on Thursday the Popular Party in the regional Chamber was established. With this procedure, the Catalan Parliament is fully formed and the Boards of Spokesmen that are called from now may legally hold. Regarding Monday's vote to elect the president of the regional Government, all parliamentary parties less Junts pel Si, which belong to the Catalan president, Artur Mas, they have expressed to the President of the Parliament his rejection the candidate. If sticking to their positions, Artur Mas may not be elected either first or second round, but have two more months to reach agreements allowing his election for a new term.
