Executive Council of Catalonia

The Executive Council of Catalonia (Catalan: Consell Executiu) or the Government of Catalonia (Catalan: Govern de Catalunya)
is the executive branch of the Generalitat of Catalonia. It is responsible for the political action, reglementation and administration of
the government of the autonomous region.[1]

The President of the Generalitat is the head of government: he or she may also appoint a First Minister (Catalan: Conseller(a)
primer(a)) to serve as their deputy, although since 2006 the office has been replaced by that of the Vice-President of the Generalitat
of Catalonia, who must be approved by theParliament of Catalonia. The various ministers (Catalan: consellers) are also appointed by
the President of the Generalitat. Ministers need not be deputies in the parliament, as they have an automatic right to intervene in
parliamentary debates.

Serving members of the government may not be arrested for any acts committed in Catalonia, except in flagrante delicto, and may
only be judged before the Superior Court of Justice of Catalonia, or the Criminal Chamber of the Supreme Court of Spain outside of
Catalonia.[2]

The Parliament of Catalonia unilaterally declared independence from Spain on 27 October 2017 and formed a Catalan Republic. In
response Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy dissolved the Parliament of Catalonia and called a snap regional election for 21
December 2017.[3]

Department of the Interior has a much different portfolio.
