MADRID Another door was closed yesterday for Catalan independence. The Constitutional Court (CC) of Spain annulled the sovereigntist query executed on November 9 regional government Artur Mas also illegal and considered the regional standard that had been used to call it.
The unanimous ruling is practical consequences because that vote lacked actual legal effect. I though the TC itself had ordered provisionally suspend, Mas kept as a show of force of the separatist project. According to official figures, participated 2.2 million people (one third of those who could do so) and 80% voted for independence.
But the message sent by judges of the highest court State court is not authorized any legal means to put into play the integrity of Spain, in tune with what they defend the government of Mariano Rajoy and the main national opposition parties.
“As we say , you can not find a middle way. They just want claudiquemos said yesterday But to know the fallo-. We leave one way for the people of Catalonia, which is elections. “
The Catalan government and convened a regional election for September 27, which aims to give plebiscitary character. But he said that if independence parties get a clear majority the next government will advance the construction of a new state within the European Union (EU).
The nationalist bloc through a moment of weakness after three years unstoppable fervor. Consultation 9-N, although it was massive, let frustration in the portion of the population expected some concrete result, bared the differences between the parties that promote independence and left doubts about whether there really is a majority that wants to break with Spain .
The very center of the Catalan government studies reviewed released later this year a survey in which no secession exceeded the other for the first time in a long time (45.3% to 44, 5%).
But he causes damage brutal corruption case involving his political mentor and president of the Generalitat for 23 years, Jordi Pujol, investigated along with his entire family for a tax fraud millionaire.
And failed in its attempt to unify in a single front soberanista his party, Convergence and Union (CiU), and Republican Left of Catalonia (ERC), whose leader, Oriol Junqueras, leads the polls of the vote.
Those tensions forced him to postpone until September the plebiscite elections which, he even announced, intended to specify in March.
The momentum can also influences the Catalan stage. The Radical Party, which leads Pablo Iglesias, began to capture much of the vote of outrage at the crisis fatter in recent years the independence rows. Churches proposed that the Catalans can decide their future in a referendum, but also offers them “change Spain” to want to stay.
This option is the TC closed. The judges recalled that the “exclusive jurisdiction” to authorize popular consultations through the referendum is the sole responsibility of the state and can not be submitted for consideration the territorial unity of the country. Anything else would require a constitutional amendment.
