MADRID (Reuters) - Spain will ask its Constitutional Court to rule on the legality of a Nov. 9 'consultation of citizens' on independence from Spain planned by Catalonia in a move to block the vote, Deputy Prime Minister Soraya Saenz de Santamaria said on Friday.
Catalan head Artur Mas plans to hold the vote next Sunday in place of a full referendum on independence from Spain that was barred by the same court.
