Das katalanische Parlament hat heute Nachmittag die vom Regierungsvertrag<\/a> zwischen der Zentrumspartei CiU und den Linksrepublikanerinnen von ERC<\/abbr> vorgesehene \u00bbSouver\u00e4nit\u00e4tserkl\u00e4rung des katalanischen Volkes\u00ab verabschiedet. Sie stellt den ersten Schritt der von beiden Parteien vereinbarten Marschroute dar, an deren Ende die katalanischen Stimmb\u00fcrger \u00fcber Verbleib oder Losl\u00f6sung von Spanien abstimmen d\u00fcrfen sollen.<\/p>\n

Die Souver\u00e4nit\u00e4tserkl\u00e4rung, mittels derer das Recht der Katalanen auf Selbstbestimmung bekr\u00e4ftigt wurde, war in ihrer schlie\u00dflich verabschiedeten Fassung von CiU und ERC gemeinsam mit den Gr\u00fcnen<\/em> vorgelegt worden. Sie erhielt 85 Ja- und 41 Nein-Stimmen bei zwei Enthaltungen. Das entspricht einer Zustimmung von \u00fcber 67% (oder etwas mehr als zwei Drittel).<\/p>\n

Die katalanischen Sozialisten (PSC<\/abbr>) hatten sich dem Druck der spanischen Schwesterpartei PSOE<\/abbr> gebeugt und ein geschlossenes Nein angek\u00fcndigt. F\u00fcnf der 20 PSC-Abgeordneten folgten jedoch nicht dem vereinbarten Fraktionszwang. Sie nahmen nicht an der Abstimmung teil, verlie\u00dfen aber auch nicht den Saal. Unbest\u00e4tigten Informationen zufolge soll zumindest einer der PSC-Rebellen seine Parteikarte vernichtet haben.<\/p>\n

Von den drei Abgeordneten der CUP<\/abbr>, die politisch noch weiter links als ERC, PSC und die Gr\u00fcnen anzusiedeln ist, hat nur einer daf\u00fcr gestimmt, zwei enthielten sich der Stimme. Sie nannten dies eine \u00bbkritische Zustimmung\u00ab, die sie damit begr\u00fcndeten, dass ihnen die Erkl\u00e4rung nicht weit genug geht. Au\u00dferdem kritisierten sie, dass dem W\u00e4hler bereits vorgegeben werde, dass Katalonien die EU-Mitgliedschaft anstrebt.<\/p>\n

Text der Erkl\u00e4rung* (\u00dcbersetzung von Xavier Maci\u00e0\u00a0):<\/p>\n

Preamble<\/strong><\/p>\n

The people of Catalonia, during the course of their history, have democratically demonstrated their collective desire to govern themselves, with the objective to advance their development, their well being, and provide equal opportunity to all citizens, while reinforcing their culture and collective identity.<\/p>\n

Self-government for Catalonia is founded on the historic rights of the Catalan people, in their ancient institutions, and in Catalan legal tradition. Catalan parliamentarism has its roots in the Middle Ages in the assemblies of Peace and Truce and the Count\u2019s Court.<\/p>\n

In the 14th century the Diputaci\u00f3 General, or as it was commonly known the Generalitat, was created, and went on acquiring great levels of autonomy until it became, in the 16th and 17th centuries, the government of the Principality of Catalonia. With the fall of Barcelona in 1714, during the War of Spanish Succession, Philip V with the Decree of the Nova Planta abolished Catalan rights and the institutions of self-government.<\/p>\n

This historic experience has been shared with several other territories, a fact that has linked them a common linguistic, cultural, social and economic background, with the intent to reinforce and promote their mutual recognition.<\/p>\n

Throughout the 20th century the desire for self-government has been a constant for Catalans. The establishment of the Catalan Mancomunitat in 1914 was a first step in the recovery of self-government, but was abolished under the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera. In 1931, with the proclamation of the Second Spanish Republic, a Catalan government was established with the name the Generalitat of Catalonia and endowed with a Statute of Autonomy.<\/p>\n

The Generalitat was again abolished in 1939 by General Franco, who established a dictatorship that lasted until 1975. The dictatorship was actively resisted by the Catalan public and the Government of Catalonia. One of the milestones in the fight for liberty was the establishment in 1971 of the Assembly of Catalonia, before the reestablishment of the Generalitat, a provisional basis, until the return of its president from exile in 1977. During the transition to democracy, and within the context of the new system of autonomous regions as defined by the 1978 Spanish Constitution, Catalans approved through a 1979 referendum the Catalan Statute of Autonomy, and in 1980 the first elections for the Parliament of Catalonia were held.<\/p>\n

During the last few years, with the strengthening of democracy, a majority of Catalan political and social forces have pushed for a transformation of judicial and political structures. The most recent effort, was the process to reform the Catalan Statute of Autonomy initiated by Parliament In 2005. The difficulties and obstacles raised by the institutions of the Spanish State, specially the Supreme Court\u2019s sentence 31\/2010, was a radical negation of the democratic evolution of the collective will of the Catalan public, and created the basis for a regression in self-government, which today clearly expresses itself in various aspects including political, jurisdictional, financial, social, cultural and linguistic.<\/p>\n

The Catalan public has, using various means, expressed its collective will to overcome the obstacles placed by the Spanish State. The massive demonstrations on the 10th of July, 2010, under the slogan \u201dWe Are a Nation,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and on 11th of September, 2012, under the slogan \u201dCatalonia, a New European State,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d are expressions against the rejections of the Catalan public\u2019s decisions.<\/p>\n

With the date 27th of September, 2012, and in accordance with Resolution 742\/IX, the Parliament of Catalonia establishes the need for the people of Catalonia to freely and democratically determine their collective future by means of a referendum. This will was was clearly and decisively expressed by the results of the last elections for the Parliament of Catalonia held on the 25th November, 2012.<\/p>\n

To carry out this process, the Parliament of Catalonia, sitting in the first session of the Xth Legislature, and in accordance with the will of the citizens of Catalonia that was democratically expressed during the last elections, sets down the following:<\/p>\n

DECLARATION OF SOVEREIGNTY AND OF THE RIGHT TO DECIDE OF THE CATALAN NATION<\/strong><\/p>\n

In accordance with the democratically expressed will of the majority of the Catalan public, the Parliament of Catalonia initiates a process to bring to promote the right of the citizens of Catalonia to collectively decide their political future, in accordance with the following principles:<\/p>\n
