  • Introduction

    Beginning of Catalan separatism

    Beginning of Catalan separatism
  • Catalan separatism began in the mid 19th to early 20th century when certain Catalan political parties, individuals and organisations started demanding independence for Catalonia.

    Catalonia was a home-rule for the longest time, which lasted until the Spanish Civil War when under General Franco's dictatorship Catalonian culture was greatly repressed.

    After Franco's death in 1975, the Catalan nationalists started demanding a break from Spain.

    First great Catalan autonomy protest
  • On 10 July 2010, a Catalan protest was carried out in Barcelona protesting against "limitations of the autonomy of Catalonia within Spain".

    The protest was also against the Spanish Constitutional Court's decision to annul several articles of the 2006 Statute of Autonomy of Catalonia.

    Almost 1.1 million people attended the protest.

    Several Catalan nationalists living in London, Berlin, and Brussels carried out similar protests.

  • Definition

    What was the Statute of Autonomy Catalonia?

  • The Statute of Autonomy Catalonia was approved by Catalan voters in a 2006 referendum which "gave greater powers to the regional parliament in taxation and judicial matters."
