Sorry, it was actually in the link you posted:
en.wikipedia.org
I quoted the relevant passage:
"10 MPs voted against the declaration and 53 MPs refused to be present during the illegal vote, after the legal counsels of the Catalan Parliament advised that it could not take place as the law on which it was based had been suspended by the
Spanish Constitutional Court. "
(emphasis mine)
You seem terribly ill informed here. Not only about Spain, but about laws.
I imagine that you know what it the hierarchy of laws?
I means that an hierarchical inferior law can’t go against a superior hierarchical law. For most countries that I know the most superior hierarchical law is the constitution. Even if it is not written, as it is the unusual case of the UK.
Using your quote: "10 MPs voted against the declaration and 53 MPs refused to be present during the illegal vote, after the legal counsels of the Catalan Parliament advised that it could not take place as the law on which it was based had been suspended by the Spanish Constitutional Court. "
Note that the legal counsel of the Catalan Parliament, I repeat of the Regional Catalan Parliament, even advised that “it could not take place”.
And why did the Constitutional Court suspended the regional law? Well… because it was illegal, it was against the hierarchy of laws. Naomasa298, pardon me to say, this is basic understanding of how laws work.
Let me quote you on other post:
Yes, that is the view of Spanish nationalists.
The complicated question of language and nationalism

It seems Catalonians speak Spanish better than everyone else in Spain.
The use of the public school system to indoctrinate in the Catalonian independence, and to falsify history in the history schoolbooks, is not only view that way by the Spanish nationalists, it can be view by anyone that knows the situation, including apparently your source, The Atlantic, implicitly recognized.
But the question of language and identity is much more complicated, as is Catalonia’s history of using its classrooms to foster unity. If this has impact or not in the political opinion of the future adults, it is not easy to say, but we are teaching those kids fiction. Ideological fiction.
By the way, most Catalonians speak well Spanish, because Spanish, Castilian, is the mother language for the majority, as The Atlantic’s article, your source, also noted.
Please, please, read the article that you linked. It is balanced. Albeit it is a limited view is such a short piece.
