The Spanish state's legal services are studying the "liabilities" which members of the Board of the Catalan Parliament "could incur" for accepting to consider CUP's proposed amendments to a motion up for debate in the chamber tomorrow. This is due to the proposals' "illegal character, contrary to the [Spanish] Constitution and Catalonia's Statute [of Autonomy]", government sources inform El Nacional.

"The [Spanish] government has to always safeguard the observance of the law, as it has done until now. And it will continue exercising, as effectively as possible, the administration of ordinary matters in Catalonia, as long as there's no president elected in accordance with the law and the Parliament's rules," they add.

The sources explain that they will study every administrative action taken, from its admission into consideration this Tuesday by the Board of Spokespeople, to a potential vote tomorrow, if speaker Roger Torrent allows it to go ahead.
