Spanish court revokes Catalan independence motion
The Spanish Constitutional Court on Wednesday said it has revoked Catalonia`s motion in Parliament to begin the process to separate from the rest of Spain.
Catalonia`s Parliament passed a resolution in November setting out a plan to establish a republic within 18 months in the highly industrialized and populous northeastern region which accounts for about a fifth of Spain`s economic output.

The process had been blocked since Nov. 11 pending a final decision by the Court.

Catalan leaders elected in September have specifically vowed to ignore the rulings of the Constitutional Court.
