Catalonia Politics refers to the political system, processes, and dynamics within the autonomous community of Catalonia, located in northeastern Spain. It encompasses the governance structure, political parties, electoral processes, and the role of institutions such as the Parliament of Catalonia and the Catalan government (Generalitat de Catalunya). Catalonia has a unique political landscape, characterized by a significant drive for independence from Spain, which has intensified in recent years. Political debates often revolve around issues of national identity, self-determination, and regional autonomy. Key political actors include pro-independence parties like Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya (ERC) and Junts per Catalunya, as well as unionist parties that support remaining part of Spain. Catalonia’s political climate is marked by complex relations with the Spanish government and contentious public referenda, notably the 2017 independence referendum, which the Spanish courts declared illegal. Overall, Catalonia Politics encapsulates the local, national, and international interactions and conflicts stemming from its quest for greater political autonomy and self-identity.
