MADRID (Reuters) - Spain's Constitutional Court suspended an independence referendum called by Catalonia for November while it considers arguments that the vote breaches the country's constitution, Spanish media reported on Monday.
A spokeswoman for the court could not confirm to Reuters whether any decision had been taken on accepting the case, a move that would immediately suspend the vote.
Spain's central government earlier asked the court to rule on a call by Artur Mas, the leader of Catalonia, to hold a vote on Nov. 9 on separation from Spain.
