The Catalan Statute of Autonomy is a legal document that establishes the framework for the self-government of the Catalonia region in Spain. It outlines the powers and responsibilities of the Catalan Parliament and the Catalan Government, granting them authority over various areas such as education, health, and culture. Originally approved in 1979, the statute was reformed in 2006 to expand Catalonia's autonomy. However, parts of the reform were challenged and partially annulled by the Spanish Constitutional Court in 2010, leading to ongoing debates about Catalonia's status and its relationship with the Spanish state.
