Resumen:

Since 2012, secessionist sentiment has increased in Catalonia. The majority of the regional Catalan Parliament passed laws that attempted to legally ground a secession referendum. The Spanish Constitutional Court repeatedly stated that those laws were unconstitutional. Notwithstanding, secessionist leaders went ahead and, after an unconstitutional referendum took place, the majority of the Catalan Parliament unilaterally declared independence in 2017. This chapter explores the Catalan secessionist process in order to analyse the case of extra constitutional secession. © Edward Elgar Publishing 2021.
