The Prime Minister, Mariano Rajoy, has made an official statement today following approval of the Council of Ministers of the proceedings before the Constitutional Court (TC) against queries Catalan law and decree convening consultation 9N .
These are some of the most significant quotes from the statement:
– “The consultation is intended to carry out, nor its object or by the procedure, is compatible with the Spanish Constitution. “
-” Today we fulfill our obligation to lodge an appeal against a decision that seriously undermines the rights of all Spaniards “
-.” La view of self-determination is to convene the Government of the Generalitat is openly contrary to our Constitution, in the first article stipulates that national sovereignty belongs to the Spanish people, from whom emanate the powers of the State. “
– “The Spanish sovereignty resides in the people as a whole and a part of him can not make decisions about what affects everyone. The Constitution is based on the indissoluble unity of the Spanish nation and, therefore, any attempt to dissolve it is radically contrary to the Constitution “
-.” Certainly the Constitution is reformable, but does not fit the intended query in any way, in procedures that the Constitution provides for reform. “
-” It’s a resource demagogic appeal to something that sounds good: the right to speak, the right to be heard. The problem is that these arguments wielder in reality he is being deprived of that right he truly belongs, which is the set of Spanish village – Consultation is profoundly undemocratic “
.”: The right to aims to subtracting some it is everyone else “
-.” There is nothing and nobody, not power or any institution that might break the principle of single and indivisible sovereignty based on our coexistence “
-.” It is not permissible, as some do, oppose law to democracy, because without law there is no democracy or respect for the rights of citizens without law there is no political “
– “What can not be allowed is that the will of a party deprived of their rights to the set. Laws can be changed, but always through the established democratic channels “
-.” What we can not do or should not do a responsible ruler is looking for shortcuts or subterfuge to violate the law, however adorned coming from pretty words “
-.” Who launched this process is responsible for the serious consequences. Consequences that go through the unfair undermined our democratic institutions or breaking the bonds of brotherhood that have joined the rest of Catalonia and Spain throughout our long history together “
-.” Our Constitution , the result of consensus, dialogue and the generosity of all parties, allowed to Catalonia enjoy greater recognition and the highest level of self-government, and for longer, in all history “
. – “Both the government, like myself, we are open to all initiatives seeking that goal; but always with the most scrupulous respect for the law, inexcusable condition of any dialogue as a serious and responsible democracy is ours “
-.” While I am president of the Government, the Act will respect in its entirety. That all Catalans and other Spaniards are quiet in this sense: all the dialogue within the law and none outside the law “
