List of Presidents of the Government of Catalonia

Catalonia
This article is part of a series on the
politics and government of
Catalonia

This List of Presidents of the Government of Catalonia[1] was created in 2003 by Josep M. Solé i Sabaté, in his work Historia de la Generalitat de Catalunya i dels seus presidents.[2] The procedure to set up this list is the following:[1] for the period 1359–1714, previous to the creation of the modern Generalitat of Catalonia, Solé i Sabaté considered "president of the Generalitat" the most eminent ecclesiastic deputy of the Deputation of the General of Catalonia (Catalan: Diputació del General de Catalunya), also known as Generalitat during the early modern ages, a body of the Catalan Courts dissolved in 1716 and reinstated for two years in 1874. From April 1931 on, the list includes the elected Presidents of the Government of Catalonia as well as the proclaimed exiled presidents during the Francoist dictatorship.[3] The functions of the President of the Government of Catalonia have varied considerably over history, in parallel with the attributions of the Generalitat itself.

Alternative versions

Some historians, like Jaume Guillamet, from Pompeu Fabra University, in Barcelona, or José Luis Corral, from Zaragoza University, do not consider the medieval Generalitat to be comparable with the contemporary Generalitat.[17] According to them, the Contemporary Generalitat was created within the framework of the 2nd Spanish Republic (1931-1939), and the current Generalitat is the result of the exercise of self-government of Catalonia within the framework of Spanish democracy. From their perspective, there would only be ten presidents of the Generalitat: Macià, Companys, Irla, Tarradellas, Pujol, Maragall, Montilla, Mas, Puigdemont and Torra.

According to Historiadors de Catalunya, an association of Catalan historians, the ten presidents of the Generalitat would be the following: Lluís Companys, Francisco Jiménez Arenas, Josep Tarradellas, Jordi Pujol, Pasqual Maragall, José Montilla, Artur Mas, Carles Puigdemont and Quim Torra.[18]
