EU Calls for 'Respect of Spanish Constitution' in Catalan Crisis

The EU on Wednesday called for "full respect of the Spanish constitutional order" after Catalan leaders said they had a mandate to declare independence but put it on hold to allow dialogue.

"The commission is following closely the situation in Spain and reiterates its earlier call for full respect of the Spanish constitutional order," European Commission vice-president Valdis Dombrovskis told reporters.
