Spain court suspends Catalan parliament session
None
Spain's Constitutional Court has ordered the temporary suspension of a special session of Catalonia's parliament next week where regional officials are expected to possibly vote on breaking away from Spain.
The opposition Socialist bloc in the regional parliament, where separatist parties have a narrow majority of seats, had called for Monday's session to be blocked.
Lawyers for the regional parliament had also warned that the session would be illegal because it discusses results of a referendum over the weekend that had been previously suspended by the Constitutional Court.
Sunday's independence referendum has sparked a major political crisis in Spain.
