Spain’s highest court intervened again in the Catalan secessionist movement, suspending that region’s Parliamentary session planned next week to advance its break-away.
The Constitutional Court halted the session planned for Oct. 9, at which Catalan President Carles Puigdemont had wanted to evaluate the result of the independence vote carried out last weekend, the body said in an e-mailed statement. The injunction was made after the court unanimously agreed to hear a challenge to the Parliamentary meeting filed earlier today by the Catalan Socialist party.
