English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published
A minister has reportedly acknowledged, according to a message circulating on social media, that the agreed decree will not be applied in Catalonia. The same text presents it as a case of inequality between territories and lashes out at the rest of Spaniards.
## A minister and a territorial exception
According to a message circulating on social media, a **minister** has reportedly acknowledged that the agreed decree will not be applied in **Catalonia**. The text criticises the rule for leaving that territory out and openly speaks of inequality, in harsh terms towards the rest of Spaniards.
There is no official confirmation of this. What exists, for now, is an accusation made on a social network, and that is not the same as a published agreement.
## Territorial equality and the processing of the decree
The **Spanish Constitution of 1978** establishes in its **article 14** that all Spaniards are equal before the law. Spain is organised into 17 autonomous communities and 2 autonomous cities. Territorial exceptions exist, but they carry a political cost.
A decree law must be validated or repealed by the **Congress of Deputies** within **30 days** of its publication, according to article 86 of the Constitution. That deadline turns any exception into bargaining currency.
It is advisable to read the published text of the decree before assuming anything is settled.
