Spain's
Constitutional Court on Tuesday partially struck down a sovereignty
claim approved by lawmakers last year in the northern region of
Catalonia, a vital step toward a referendum on full independence, court
papers showed.
In January 2013, Catalonia's
regional parliament unanimously adopted a declaration of
self-determination saying the people had the right to vote on breaking
away from the rest of Spain.
The
Madrid court declared "null and unconstitutional" the first point in
the Catalan ruling which said the people of the region had the legal
right to infringe the Spanish constitution.
