Catalan Statute of Autonomy
From Freepedia
The Catalan Statute of Autonomy is a Constitutional law promulgated on the 18 September 1979 that grants Catalonia a government of autonomy, in the context of the Kingdom of Spain. The Generalitat de Catalunya is the institution in which the self-government of Catalonia is politically organised. It consists of the Parliament, the President of the Generalitat and the Executive Council or Government of Catalonia.
In 1932, there was promulgated the first Statute of Autonomy of Catalonia, in the context of Spanish Republic. This law was abolished by general Francisco Franco after the Spanish Civil War.
In September 2005, the Catalan Parliament approved (with the support of 120 deputies to 15) a new project of Statute of Autonomy. This issue is currently in discussion in the Spanish Cortes or Parliament.
