After pro-independence parties won a majority of seats in Catalan election on 27 September 2015, the Declaration of the Initiation of the Process of Independence of Catalonia (Catalan: Declaració d'inici del procés d'independència de Catalunya) was issued on 9 November 2015. The declaration declares the start of the process to create an independent Catalan state in the form of a republic and proclaims the start of a participative, open, integrating and active citizen's constituent process to lay the foundation for the future Catalan Constitution.[1][2][3][4]
The declaration was passed with 72 votes in favor, 63 against and 0 abstentions in the Parliament of Catalonia.
On 9 June 2017, the Catalan government announced the date of the referendum, which will be held on 1 October the same year.
