la Generalitat (de Cataluña) — Catalan autonomous government

la Generalitat Valenciana — Valencian autonomous government

GENERALITAT The Generalitat is the autonomous government of Catalonia. The name originally applied to the finance committee of the Catalan parliament, or Corts, in the early 13th century, but in 1932 was given to the partially devolved government granted to Catalonia under the Second Republic (1931-36). When its leader, Luis Companys, went on to proclaim the "Catalan State of the Spanish Federal Republic" in 1934, Madrid sent in the troops, and imprisoned members of the breakaway Generalitat. Catalan autonomy was restored under the Popular Front in 1936, but was abolished by Franco after the Civil War. Since his death the Generalitat has risen again under the 1978 Constitution and Catalonia now enjoys a considerable degree of autonomy from Madrid.
