MADRID: The Spanish government will appeal a motion by
Catalonia to continue with its independence drive, the government spokeswoman said on Friday, just days before Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez meets the Catalan head
Quim Torra.
“The Government will challenge before the Constitutional Court the motion approved yesterday by the
Catalan Parliament,” Isabel Celaa said on Friday.
Catalonia’s secessionist drive is one of the thorniest issues facing Sanchez after he toppled centre-right premier
Mariano Rajoy June 1 in a vote of no confidence.
