title="Catalonia">Catalonia</a> from <a href="/wiki/Spain" title="Spain">Spain</a>. </p><p>The beginnings of <a href="/wiki/Separatism" title="Separatism">separatism</a> in Catalonia can be traced back to <a href="/wiki/Regionalism_(politics)" title="Regionalism (politics)">regionalist</a> and <a href="/wiki/Nationalism" title="Nationalism">nationalist</a> movements of the mid–19th century, influenced by <a href="/wiki/Romanticism" title="Romanticism">romantic</a> ideas widespread in <a href="/wiki/Europe" title="Europe">Europe</a> at the time. The first organised Catalan independence party was <a href="/wiki/Estat_Catal%C3%A0" title="Estat Català">Estat Català</a> (Catalan State), founded in 1922 by <a href="/wiki/Francesc_Maci%C3%A0" title="Francesc Macià">Francesc Macià</a>. In 1931, Estat Català and other parties formed <a href="/wiki/Esquerra_Republicana_de_Catalunya" class="mw-redirect" title="Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya">Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya</a> (Republican Left of Catalonia, ERC). Macià proclaimed a <a href="/wiki/Catalan_Republic_(1931)" title="Catalan Republic (1931)">Catalan Republic</a> within Spain in 1931, subsequently accepting autonomy within the Spanish state after negotiations with the leaders of the <a href="/wiki/Second_Spanish_Republic" title="Second Spanish Republic">Second Spanish Republic</a>. During the <a href="/wiki/Spanish_Civil_War" title="Spanish Civil War">Spanish Civil War</a>, General <a href="/wiki/Francisco_Franco" title="Francisco Franco">Francisco Franco</a> abolished Catalan autonomy in 1938. Following Franco's death in 1975, Catalan political parties concentrated on the recovery and further increase of autonomy rather than independence. </p><p>The contemporary independence movement began around 2009 after a series of events, including the <a href="/wiki/Financial_crisis_of_2007%E2%80%932008" class="mw-redirect" title="Financial crisis of 2007–2008">financial crisis of 2007–2008</a> and the <span title="Spanish-language text"><span lang="es" style="font-style: normal;"><a href="/wiki/People%27s_Party_(Spain)" title="People&#39;s Party (Spain)">Partido Popular</a></span></span> (People's Party) challenging the <a href="/wiki/Statute_of_Autonomy_of_Catalonia_of_2006" title="Statute of Autonomy of Catalonia of 2006">2006 Statute of Autonomy</a> in the <a href="/wiki/Constitutional_Court_of_Spain" title="Constitutional Court of Spain">Constitutional Court of Spain</a>; Catalan municipalities held symbolic <a href="/wiki/Catalan_independence_referendums,_2009%E2%80%9311" class="mw-redirect" title="Catalan independence referendums, 2009–11">referendums on independence</a> between 2009 and 2011. The 2010 ruling of the court that parts of the statute were unconstitutional sparked <a href="/wiki/2010_Catalan_autonomy_protest" title="2010 Catalan autonomy protest">huge protests</a>, and a snap election in 2012 led to the first pro-independence majority ever in the <a href="/wiki/Catalan_parliament" class="mw-redirect" title="Catalan parliament">Catalan parliament</a>. The new government held a "non-binding" <a href="/wiki/2014_Catalan_self-determination_referendum" title="2014 Catalan self-determination referendum">self-determination referendum</a> in 2014, which yielded a large majority in favour of independence, but with a low turnout due to boycotting by anti-independence voters. A <a href="/wiki/2015_Catalan_regional_election" title="2015 Catalan regional election">further election</a> in 2015 was followed by the calling of <a href="/wiki/2017_Catalan_independence_referendum" title="2017 Catalan independence referendum">a new, binding referendum</a>. This was however considered illegal by the <a href="/wiki/Government_of_Spain" title="Government of Spain">Spanish government</a> and the Constitutional Court, as the <a href="/wiki/Generalitat_de_Catalunya" title="Generalitat de Catalunya">Catalan government</a> lacks legal jurisdiction to organize referendums. The referendum was nonetheless held in 2017 amidst great political and social controversy including police violence aimed at stopping it both before and during the voting. Amidst large protests from both the pro- and anti-independence camps, the Catalan parliament approved a motion with the aim to proclaim an independent republic. At the same time, the <a href="/wiki/Spanish_senate" class="mw-redirect" title="Spanish senate">Spanish senate</a> voted to take control of the Catalan institutions until <a href="/wiki/2017_Catalan_regional_election" title="2017 Catalan regional election">new regional elections</a>. The autonomous government leaders were arrested in the subsequent weeks with some fleeing abroad including then president <a href="/wiki/Carles_Puigdemont" title="Carles Puigdemont">Carles Puigdemont</a>. In 2019, the new Spanish government agreed to hold a 'table of negotiations' with the government of Catalonia, though refusing beforehand to consider independence or self-determination. In 2020, the Spanish government began processing a request for the pardon of the arrested leaders, which was effective in June 2021. </p><p>In the Parliament of Catalonia, parties explicitly supporting independence are <a href="/wiki/Together_for_Catalonia_(2020)" title="Together for Catalonia (2020)">Together for Catalonia</a> (Junts), heir of the former <a href="/wiki/Democratic_Convergence_of_Catalonia" title="Democratic Convergence of Catalonia">Democratic Convergence of Catalonia</a> (CDC); <a href="/wiki/Republican_Left_of_Catalonia" title="Republican Left of Catalonia">Republican Left of Catalonia</a> (ERC), <a href="/wiki/Popular_Unity_Candidacy" title="Popular Unity Candidacy">Popular Unity Candidacy</a> (CUP) and <a href="/wiki/Catalan_Alliance" title="Catalan Alliance">Catalan Alliance</a>.
