Categories: Western Europe, Spain, Breaking News, Human Rights, International Relations, Law, Politics

The Spanish Constitutional Court just suspended Catalonia's Declaration of Sovereignty, which the regional parliament of Catalonia approved [1] by majority on 23 January, 2013. Amid rising tensions [2] between Spain and Catalonia, the decision has generated strong reactions on offline and online media.

Thanks to a diverse team of collaborators, the online Catalan-language publication Vilaweb [3] [ca] offers the Declaration of Sovereignty in 50 languages.
