加泰罗尼亚议会周一宣告该地区不再从属于西班牙及其机构。此举大幅提升了围绕加泰罗尼亚政治未来的长期斗争的赌注。
The Catalan parliament declared on Monday that the region is no longer subject to Spain and its institutions, dramatically raising the stakes in the long-running struggle over Catalonia’s political future.
西班牙政府表示，将在西班牙宪法法庭挑战这项并不马上具有法律效应的决议。
The government has said it will challenge the resolution, which has no immediate legal effect, in Spain’s constitutional court.
不过，支持独立的领导人欢呼该决议是一个里程碑式的时刻，他们坚称加泰罗尼亚正向着脱离西班牙全速前进。
But independence leaders nevertheless hailed it as a landmark moment, insisting that Catalonia was now moving full steam ahead towards secession.
加泰罗尼亚总统阿图尔氠斯(Artur Mas)表示：“这个国家正在行动之中，向着更加美好的未来前进。任何法律申诉和威胁，都阻挡不住千万人的夙愿。”支持独立的极左翼政党——人民团结候选人党(CUP)议员安娜加夫列尔(Anna Gabriel)表示：“对我们来说，这意味着在法律上与西班牙决裂。”
“This is a country on the move, advancing towards a better future. No legal complaint and no threat can stand in the way of the heartfelt desire of thousands,” said Artur Mas, the Catalan president. Anna Gabriel, a lawmaker from the far-left pro-independence CUP movement said: “For us, this means the rupture with Spanish legality.”
