| has gloss | eng: The Project of Statute of Catalonia of 1919 started in a pro-autonomist environment and it was approved by the Assembly of the Mancomunitat de Catalunya in Barcelona, the 24 January of 1919 with all the support of the Catalan parties: The Partit Català Republicà (Republican Catalan Party) took this Statute as its main concern, the Alejandro Lerrouxs radicals endorsed it, Francesc Cambó and his party (Lliga Regionalista) asked for a pragmatic vision. Liberals and Conservatives (which were in the Spanish government) said that they omitted the partys discipline, and the Traditionalists remembered his defense of the autonomy with the weapons. Francesc Macià -speaking as Independentist- said that this was a short Statute, but the best one that could be achieved. Finally, Largo Caballero, speaking as Socialist, stated that the Spanish workers believed that Catalan Autonomy was the first step in the regeneration of Spain. |
