Tribunal
Constitucional espanhol admite recurso e suspende processo
independentista catalão
11/11/2015, LUSA
O
plenário do Tribunal Constitucional espanhol suspendeu o processo
independentista na Catalunha, ao admitir a trâmite - por unanimidade
- o recurso apresentado pelo governo contra a resolução do
parlamento catalão.
O plenário do
Tribunal Constitucional espanhol suspendeu hoje o processo
independentista na Catalunha, ao admitir a trâmite – por
unanimidade – o recurso apresentado esta manhã pelo governo contra
a resolução do parlamento catalão.
A resolução do
parlamento catalão (iniciativa dos partidos Junts pel Si e CUP) foi
aprovada na segunda-feira, com os votos favoráveis destes dois
partidos e voto contra de todos os outros.
Ao ter sido
solicitado pelo governo (foi entregue hoje de manhã pela
advogada-geral do Estado) – e ao abrigo do artigo 161.º da
Constituição – a entrada do recurso no TC significa que a
resolução catalã está suspensa cautelarmente por um período de
pelo menos cinco meses, enquanto o tribunal estuda o assunto.
No seu recurso, o
governo de Mariano Rajoy sustenta que a resolução aprovada na
Catalunha “viola de forma evidente” até oito artigos – 1.2, 2,
168, 1.3, 1.1, 9.1, 164 e 23 – da Constituição espanhola.

Spanish
court puts brakes on Catalan independence bid
Conservative
PM Mariano Rajoy considers Catalonia’s separatism process unlawful.

Spain’s
Constitutional Court, acting on an appeal from Prime Minister Mariano
Rajoy, suspended on Wednesday the pro-independence Catalan
government’s resolution to set in motion a process to form a
republic within 18 months.
The Court took a
unanimous decision to suspend the resolution, passed earlier this
week, which calls for secession from Spain. But the Generalitat, or
regional government, said it would push ahead with the independence
process in defiance of the court.
“The political
will of the government of Catalonia is to go ahead with the content
of the resolution approved Monday by the Catalan parliament,” the
vice president of the Catalan government, Neus Munte, told a news
conference late Wednesday.
Earlier in the day,
Rajoy called a special cabinet meeting to discuss Monday’s vote in
Barcelona and said afterwards: “Catalan separatists want to take
away from the Spanish people their greatest achievement: democracy.”
“They want to end
democracy and the rule of law and we will not permit it,” added
Rajoy, who will seek re-election in Spanish national elections on
December 20.
Rajoy sent the court
a list, via the Attorney General, of 21 officials whom he said should
be warned that they will be suspended from their positions if they do
not abide by the court’s final decision.
That list includes
Artur Mas, acting president of the Generalitat or autonomous Catalan
government, and Carme Forcadell, president of the Catalan parliament.
Mas heads the
pro-independence coalition Junts pel Sí (Together for Yes), which
got the most votes in September’s regional election, but fell short
of an absolute majority. Mas now needs the vote of a small left-wing
party to secure a new term.
