Spain's Constitutional Court has suspended part of Catalan Parliament resolution 534/XII, from 25th July this year, "on proposals for the real Catalonia". The court unanimously accepted a claim from the Spanish government to suspend certain debated clauses of the resolution. The motion in question repeated Catalonia's intention to exercise its right to self-determination and confirmed its censure of the king.
The judges also warn the Parliament's speaker, Roger Torrent, and its governing Bureau that they could potentially even incur criminal liability should they not "prevent or paralyse any initiative which would mean ignoring or avoiding the suspension".
The Spanish government argues that the articles in question violate a 2015 resolution by the Constitutional Court, which declared unconstitutional and void Catalan Parliament resolution 1/XI from 9th November that year "on the start of the political process in Catalonia as a consequence of the electoral results of 27th September 2015". It also reminds the members of the Parliament's Bureau of their duty to "prevent or paralyse any initiative which directly or indirectly would mean ignoring or avoiding" the 2015 verdict.
The ruling gives the public prosecution service and the Catalan Parliament ten days to submit the "arguments they might deem appropriate".
