Catalan government stands by secession plan after court annulment

-

Catalonia's regional government said Wednesday it stood by a resolution voted through by parliament last month that declared the start of a secession process from Spain, despite the constitutional court declaring it illegal.

"The content of this declaration, approved by an absolute majority, is to remain unchanged no matter how many sentences the Spanish Constitutional Court issues," said government spokeswoman Neus Munte.
