Purpose Unilateral declaration of independence of Catalonia as a sovereign
republic from Spain
On 10 October, in the aftermath of the 1 October 2017 Catalan independence
referendum, a document establishing Catalonia as an independent republic was signed
by the members of Catalonia's pro-independence parliamentary majority.[1][2][3] The
same document was then voted on and approved on 27 October by a majority of 70 out
of 135 MPs in a plenary session (ten voted against and two abstained).[citation

Fifty-three MPs from the opposition refused to be present during the 27 October
voting after the legal services of the Catalan Parliament advised that the voting
could not take place as the law in which it was based had been suspended by the
Spanish Constitutional Court.[4][5]

A few hours later Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy of Spain announced that he was
dismissing Catalan President Carles Puigdemont and his cabinet and calling for
fresh Catalan elections on 21 December 2017.[6] The Spanish vice-premier Soraya
Senz de Santamara was assigned to be the temporary president of Catalonia until
next elections, which will be held in December.[7]
