The upper house of Spain's parliament on Friday authorized Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy’s government to rule Catalonia directly from Madrid, shortly after the Catalonia regional parliament voted to declare independence from Spain.
The measures allowing the Spanish government to trigger Article 155 of the Spanish Constitution were approved with 214 votes in favor, 47 against and one abstention.
The Article, which has not been used before, empowers the government to take "all measures necessary to compel" a region in case of a crisis. On the same day, the Catalan regional parliament voted in favor of making a formal declaration of independence from Spain.
