1931 Catalan Statute of Autonomy

The 1931 Catalan Statute of Autonomy was a legal document that established Catalonia's self-governance within Spain. It granted Catalonia its own government and parliament, allowing for regional laws and cultural promotion while remaining part of the Spanish nation. This statute recognized Catalonia's distinct identity and aimed to provide greater political and administrative control to Catalan institutions. Its adoption marked a significant step toward regional autonomy during the Second Spanish Republic, although political tensions and later conflicts affected its implementation and legacy.
