Spain’s Constitutional Court has declared the independence referendum decree, signed by the former Catalan government, unconstitutional, the Court said in a statement.
According to the statement, the Court has issued a ruling declaring that the “September 6 independence referendum decree” had no legal force as unconstitutional. Besides, the Court made a similar decision concerning “additional regulations for holding the referendum on independence.”
“The autonomous community of Catalonia has no power to call and hold plebiscites,” the ruling points out.
