Spanish government to challenge motion against king

The Spanish government will take a motion against the King of Spain passed by the Catalan Parliament last week to the Constitutional Court.

The text included condemning King Felipe for the role he played during the peak tension between Spain and Catalonia, including “justifying” the Spanish police violence on October 1. It also demanded the abolition of the Spanish monarchy.

The cabinet in Madrid will take the decision on Friday during its meeting, as explained by its vice president Carmen Calvo on Tuesday morning.
