After a request from the Spanish central government in Madrid, Spain's Constitutional Court on Monday suspended Catalonia's planned independence referendum. The court declared it will place the referendum on hold while it decides whether the vote scheduled for November 9 is unconstitutional. Catalonia is one of Spain's wealthiest and most industrialized regions. Spanish Prime Minister has claimed the vote is not "compatible with the Spanish constitution," and declared Monday that, "Nobody and nothing will be allowed to break up Spain."
