Abstract

Over 30 years after the Spanish Constitution was approved in 1978, the Estado autonomico or “autonomic State” for which it provides has evolved in a series of phases coinciding with different legislatures of the Spanish parliament, culminating in the configuration of a new model of the State. The key players in this process have been the political parties and the Spanish Constitutional Court. However, this new model as outlined in the proposals of the Catalan, Basque, and Galician nationalists and, in particular, as framed in recent reforms of certain statutes of autonomy, is wholly incompatible with the Constitution, which has led to calls for a definitive solution in the form of a pact to proceed openly with constitutional reform or to return powers to Spain’s central government.
