The two main pro-independence forces represented in the Catalan Parliament, cross-party list ‘Junts Pel Sí’ and radical left CUP, handed over an agreed declaration on the 26 October 2015 which established the beginning of Catalonia’s independence process. The document warned that 'the process of democratic disconnection won’t be subject to Spanish institutions’ decisions, particularly those from the Spanish Constitutional Court, which is regarded as discredited and without competences'. The plan was to secure the agreement of the Catalan parliament to the process. However, the process was temporarily suspended on the 28 October 2015 for procedural reasons. Later on in the same week Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy met with centre-right Ciudadanos leader Albert Rivera, as well as Podemos chief Pablo Iglesias, and other opposition politicians to discuss the increasing constitutional crisis involving Spain and Catalonia. Mr Rajoy said on the 30 October 2015 that Spain's main parties would work together to defend national unity against the independence drive. Onn the 5 November 2015 the Spanish Constitutional Court gave the green light for the Catalan Parliament to vote on the pro-independence proposal. This was due to take place on the 9 November 2015. |
