Abstract:
In this work we’ve tried, from a historical perspective, analyzing what has been the catalan legal and political demands framework, and national self-government reivindications, within the constitutional framework of the Spanish state. We intend to see if there has been a certain change in the reaction or how to deal with the problem from the state institutions, and whether this has resulted in changes or improvements for Catalonia. And this analysis is done through the legal analysis comparing existing constitutional texts since 1873, with the various statutes of autonomy of Catalonia, and especially the projects themselves, where we could see, so clear, the catalan intentions. Throw this, we can clearly see the Catalan national aspirations, against the Spanish political-legal response. The structure we used is divided in four chapters. The first refers to the First Republic; the second is about the Second Republic, where we compare the Republican Constitution of 1932 with the Statute; the second deals with the constitution of 1978, compared with 1979 Statute; in the third, we analyze the proposed reform of the Statute of 2005, comparing it to the final text of 2006, and then, in the fourth chapter, is where we studied the Judgment 31/2010, from the Constitutional Court, on the Statute of 2006. By way conclusive, and after doing our research, we’ve seen how, despite the years, despite changing regimes, and parties, the national response has not changed almost nothing. The conclusion drawn is that the situation has remained always in a state similar by ignoring the uniqueness of Catalonia, nationality refers to the art. 2 of the Constitution, and the use of all types of policy instruments (Constitutional Court itself) to demolish these aspirations.
