Everything about Generalitat totally explained
Generalitat (literally 'Generalty') is the name of two regional systems of
government of the present
Spanish autonomous communities: of the
Valencian Community and of
Catalonia. The term is also used for the government of the semi-autonomous
comarca of
Val d'Aran, the
Generalitat a l'Aran.
Generalitat refers to all three
branches of government, not simply the
executive. The Catalonian executive, officially, is the "Government of the Generalitat of Catalonia" (
el Govern de la Generalitat de Catalunya: cf. Government of the Kingdom of Spain,
el Gobierno del Reino de España), while those of the Valencian community and the Val d'Aran are known as the "Council of the Valencian Generalitat" (
Consell de la Generalitat Valenciana) and the
Síndic respectively.
The name
Generalitat dates back to the
13th century, to the medieval courts of the ancient
Principality of Catalonia and the
Kingdom of Valencia respectively. The term originally referred to a delegation of members of the
Corts who oversaw the implementation of the decisions of the Corts between sessions, and is derived from the
Catalan Diputació del General (de Catalunya). The Catalan and Valencian
Generalitats were both abolished by the
Decretos de Nueva Planta, signed by
Philip V of Spain at the start of the
eighteenth century, and only reinstated after the death of
Franco in 1975. The
Generalitat a l'Aran was legally created by the 2006 modification of the
Statute of Autonomy of Catalonia, although the Val d'Aran had also enjoyed considerable autonomy within Catalonia under the 1979 Statute of Autonomy.
