The Spanish government said on the 1 March 2013 that it would challenge the legality of a sovereignty declaration made by the Catalan assembly in January 2013 with the Constitutional Court. The decision was taken after the administration of Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy received the backing to do so from the State Council, a consultative body whose rulings are non-binding. The Council issued a judgment on the 28 February 2013 that indicated there are sufficient legal grounds to dispute the assembly’s declaration on 23 January 2013 the Catalan people constitute a 'sovereign political and legal entity'. |
