Madrid:
The Spanish Constitutional Court today said it has revoked Catalonia's motion in Parliament to begin the process to separate from the rest of Spain.
Catalonia's Parliament passed a resolution in November setting out a plan to establish a republic within 18 months in the highly industrialized and populous northeastern region which accounts for about a fifth of Spain's economic output.
The process had been blocked since November 11 pending a final decision by the Court.
Catalan leaders elected in September have specifically vowed to ignore the rulings of the Constitutional Court.
