Spanish court blocks Catalan Parliament's independence move
Spain's highest court has suspended a meeting of Catalonia's regional parliament planned for Monday in an apparent attempt to prevent Catalan President Carles Puigdemont's expected declaration of independence.
The Constitutional Court said Thursday it had issued the suspension decision following a request from the Catalan Socialist Party.
The parliamentary session was to have been Puigdemont's first opportunity to make a formal declaration of independence under a Catalan referendum law that the Constitutional Court had previously ruled illegal.
Asked by CNN about the court's decision, the Catalan government responded: "We will see."
