>(MADRID) — Spain's constitutional court on Thursday suspended the call for a referendum on Catalonia's independence after agreeing to review an appeal by central authorities in Madrid.
>The move was widely expected after Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy announced that the government was challenging both a controversial law meant to legitimize the independence vote and a decree signed Wednesday by the regional Catalan government summoning voters for the Oct. 1 ballot.
>The reaction to the court's decision by leaders in Catalonia, a prosperous region in northeastern Spain, also didn't come as a surprise. Carles Puigdemont, the regional president and one of the main promoters of the referendum, said that neither central Spanish authorities nor the courts could halt their plans.

> In fact, state police have already begun to take action to prevent the referendum, with Guardia Civil officers raiding the printing firm, Indugraf Offset, in Constantí in Tarragona. Looking for materials destined to be used in the October 1 independence vote, officers searched the cars of employees leaving work. Later, about a dozen officers arrived with boxes and entered the company’s premises.
