Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy says he's ready to halt any secession attempt for the northeastern Catalonia region if regional elections in September generate a majority of independence-minded lawmakers trying to push the issue forward.
Rajoy made the comments Tuesday as several Catalan parties prepare their lists of pro-secession candidates for the Sept. 27 election for the Catalan regional parliament.
The region's Convergence and the Republican Left parties see the election as a vote on independence and say they will unilaterally push for Catalonia to leave Spain if they obtain a majority of seats in the regional parliament.
Rajoy has said an independence declaration by Catalonia would be unconstitutional.
