Rajoy is studying the suspension of the autonomy in Catalonia – Telegraph

Addresses is an exceptional tool that will be used in the event that the executive keep its decision to hold in September a referendum.

The tension between the government of Mariano Rajoy and the nationalists catalans is reaching a level of aggressiveness is unknown.

For the first time since the start of hostilities on the account of the aspirations for independence in Catalonia, the Spanish government has admitted that it does not rule out suspending the autonomy if the regional administration maintains the convening of a consultation of self-determination for next September.

But this threatening warning, unusual in the 39 years of Spanish democracy, has only served to make the president Catalan Carles Puigdemont throw more fuel to the fire by bringing forward the July 1 start to operate the new system of tax collection outside of Spain. It is a prior step to achieve real independence.

a Whole succession of challenges whose corollary is the trial against the former president Artur Mas and two of his closest advisors, Joana Ortega and Irene Rigau, for organizing the consultation on the independence held in 2014. The more you are exposed to a disabling policy copy if the court considers it guilty of the crimes of grave disobedience and transgression that charged.

at The same time, the spokesman of the Socialist Demòcrata Catalá (PDeCAT), Francesc Homs, knew yesterday that it will also be processed by the Supreme Court on the 27th of February on the same charges that they blame their peers.

The confrontation has come to a degree of incandescence that, unexpectedly, was displayed yesterday during the regular session of the Catalan Parliament.

After asking for the password and climb to the rostrum of speakers, Puigdemont launched one of the harshest diatribes that are remembered against the democratic system in Spanish, the label "ill".

According to the head of an autonomous region, "a democracy that sends to trial political leaders of the day as healthy and uplifting as that of the query 2014 is a democracy that has fallen ill, and comes of the transition," he said.

then gave a review of the scandals 'tolerated' by the State as the illegal wire-tapping ordered by the former minister of the Interior, Jorge Fernández Díaz; the millionaire funding awarded to the Fundación Francisco Franco or the private life of the king emeritus Juan Carlos I.

This atmosphere unbreathable captures the media’s attention to the rest of spain’s political life.

The minister of Justice, Rafael Catalá, said that the executive of Mariano Rajoy has studied the mechanisms at its disposal to solve this kind of territorial conflicts, and cited the exceptional article 155 of the Spanish Constitution that provides for the suspension of the autonomy effect. Unless the belligerent proved to be the negotiating officer of the government in this matter, the vice-president Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría, who asked not to increase the drama existing and thanked the 'collaboration of the Spanish Socialist workers Party (PSOE), and Citizens' in this complex challenge of independence.

The spokesperson of the manager socialist, Mario Jiménez, warned the nationalists catalans that "nothing can be done in Spain at the margin of the law," but blames Rajoy’s "lack of a prior dialogue that would have prevented this pulse that we now live".The leader of Citizens, Albert Rivera was aligned with the strategy of the government, and reproached the pro-independence "the epic of cheap lab."

The discordant note set by the secretary general of we Can, Pablo Churches, for whom it is grievous that you are judge More by putting polls while remains unpunished corruption," he said.

Nor what to say in regards to the trial against the former president of Catalonia is acting as the gasoline with which it tries to put out the fire. Embraced by thousands of followers in the street, Artur Mas stated before the magistrate Jesus Maria Barrientos be "the only one responsible for everything that has happened in the last few years."

But the nuance in the media of a judicial process that for some it is political and other propaganda that is causing constant friction between the judge and the defendant in the few days it takes to continue.

The most serious, no doubt, occurred yesterday when I tried to explain why it will not respond to the questions made by the prosecutor.

In that moment was interrupted by the judge with a blunt "you are not here to ask questions." A phrase that describes the distances that separate Catalonia and Spain today are abysmal. (I)

The trial of More

The office maintained yesterday, your request to disable it for 10 years at the former Catalan Artur Mas for the exercise of public office on the penultimate day of the trial for organizing the November 9, 2014 a consultation on the independence prohibited by the court.

The exvicepresidenta Joana Ortega and the exresponsable regional Education Irene Rigau also in question would be disqualified for 9 years.

query on the independence, that was not going to have legal effect, it was suspended by the Constitutional Court but was also held to gather 2.3 million participants, 80% of them voting for the secession of this wealthy northeastern region.

Some 40,000 protesters of independence gathered last Monday in front of the court to support their former rulers. The trial will run until today. (I)
