The regional government of Catalonia will make a final decision on whether an independence referendum will take place before October 15 a spokesperson said on Monday.
The leader of Catalonia Artur Mas, has faced pressure from several Catalan organisations to push forward with the referendum despite the Spanish government’s opposition, reports Reuters.
Spanish courts have already called the Catalan regional government’s calls for a referendum on November 9 unconstitutional.
The announcement of a referendum decision deadline by the Catalan government comes as the central government asked the constitutional court to annul an electoral committee appointed by Catalan authorities to organise the potential referendum, reports Elpais.
