Catalonia intrigue goes on....
A bit of a surprise..
LIES: Catalan Deputy First Minister Junqueras said central government's financial control measures had been suspended by Supreme Court.
Not true at all, the Supreme Court just told us. Catalan government appeal hasn't even been admitted yet. Nothing has been suspended.
All of which means total central government control of all Catalan public accounts is still in effect until further notice.
Supreme Court has asked Attorney General for a report on injunction measures Catalonia has asked for. He has 10 days to reply.
But injunction measures are not the appeal itself, which has not been admitted, and central govt. control measures have not been suspended.
