Spain: Top Court Officially Rules Catalan Referendum Illegal

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Spain's top court on Tuesday officially ruled that Catalonia's disputed independence referendum was illegal because a regional law that backed it was against Spain's constitution. The Catalan regional parliament passed the "self-determination referendum law" in early September. Regional leaders went on to stage the Oct. 1 referendum on whether the region should separate from Spain.
