4 unusual facts about Statute of Autonomy of Catalonia


Statute of Autonomy of Catalonia

In response, four of the six political parties in the Catalan parliament—Convergence and Union, the Catalan Socialists, Republican Left of Catalonia, and Catalan green party—and that represented 88% of the popular vote reached an agreement to fight together at the Spanish Senate to reform the Constitutional Court of Spain, and hopefully nullify the possibility of an overturn of the Catalan Statute of Autonomy.

On the opposite side, Catalan nationalists, such as CiU, Republican Left of Catalonia (ERC) or C.U.P, think that the Statute does not give Catalonia sufficient self-government after it was modified by the Constitutional Court of Spain.

After four years of deliberations, the Constitutional Court of Spain assessed the constitutionality of the challenged articles and its binding assessment was released on June 28 of 2010.

The latter filed an objection of unconstitutionality before the Constitutional Court of Spain, currently in process.
