As the Scottish independence movement loses steam, the Catalonian one is heating up.

Leaders in the Catalonia secession movement have agreed to obey a court injunction against the proposed November referendum, suspending for the time being any campaigning on behalf of it. This move defuses an immediate constitutional crisis, but Catalonia’s determination to keep pushing on means the detente might be temporary.

The President of the regional Catalan government has formally called a regional secession referendum for November. The Spanish government vows to stop the vote from happening, putting the two sides on a potentially explosive collision course.
