Catalan Government

The Catalan Government, officially known as the Generalitat de Catalunya, is the governing body of Catalonia, an autonomous region in northeastern Spain. It has its own parliament, president, and various ministries, allowing it to manage areas like education, health, and transportation. Established in the early 20th century, the Generalitat's powers expanded after Spain's transition to democracy in the 1970s. Catalonia has a distinct culture and language, leading to a strong independence movement, which seeks greater autonomy or full independence from Spain. The Catalan Government plays a central role in advocating for these aspirations.
