The Constitutional Court annulled the Catalan independence resolution

USPA NEWS - Spain's Constitutional Court on Wednesday annulled unanimously by the eleven judges the independence resolution adopted last November 9 by the regional Parliament of Catalonia, which began the road to independence for that region.

The Constitutional Court set a record, as decided on the legality of the independence resolution just 21 days after being appealed by the Government of Spain and although he had five months to deliberate and pass judgment. However, sources of the high court had announced its intention to settle the case before the start of the electoral campaign for the legislative elections of December 20, starting at midnight on Friday.

The cancellation of the independence resolution produced unanimously by the eleven judges of the Constitutional Court and arguments similar to those used in the past, including a reminder that the national sovereignty belongs to all Spaniards and not just in Catalan. According to the high court, any initiative on the independence of Catalonia should be discussed with all Spaniards. Also, remember the Catalan political leaders of their obligation to comply with the judgment and political and criminal liability they incur if they disobey.

From the Spanish Government, which appealed against the decision of the regional Parliament of Catalonia, the Constitutional Court decision was described as "logical" and "expected". However, the reactions fron Catalonia were other. CUP, an anti-capitalist party, which supports secession, urged the regional Government and Parliament of Catalonia to disobey the judgment of the Constitutional Court. The other separatist force, the nationalist coalition Junts pel Si, lamented the "criminalization of politics" that represents the judgment of the high court. And since the constitutional parties - the Socialist Party of Catalonia and the centrist Citizens - appeal was made to the Catalan leaders to respect the ruling of the Constitutional.
