Generalitat de Cataluña

The Generalitat de Cataluña is the government institution responsible for managing the autonomous community of Catalonia in northeastern Spain. It includes the Catalan Parliament, which makes laws, and the Executive Council, led by the President, which implements policies. Established in the 13th century and formally recognized in modern times, it operates with a degree of self-governance, handling areas like education, health, and culture. While it functions independently within Spain’s constitutional framework, its existence highlights Catalonia’s distinct identity, language, and history, often playing a central role in regional and national political debates.
