Spain’s central government in Madrid is weighing two options it may impose on Catalonia if the region’s government unequivocally declares independence, El Mundo reported, without saying where it got the information.
Madrid would either name a caretaker administration or a unity government made up of representatives of all parties, the newspaper said. Regional elections would then be called in three to six months, according to the report. Replacing the rebel government would require the state using special powers under Article 155 of the Spanish Constitution.
That action is not imminent, according to the report. The Catalan government has two chances this week to demonstrate it hasn’t broken away from Spain and instead will abide by Spanish law, with deadlines for compliance set for Monday and Thursday this week, El Mundo reported.
