Description

The constitution file of the Provisional Provincial Council of the Generalitat of Catalonia, between May 1931 and October 1932, is a fundamental document for understanding the recovery of Catalan self-government within the framework of the Second Republic. This process included the drafting of the Statute Project, the plebiscite and the referendum, and culminated in the approval of the Statute of Núria. The document reflects the will to provide Catalonia with its own, democratic and modern institutional framework, in line with other processes of autonomy in Europe. It also highlights the importance of the corporate image and the need to create a unique identity for the new institution. It is part of the themes of politics, governance and international relations, and symbolizes the beginning of a new stage of Catalan institutional sovereignty within the European context.
