[3][4] It is the thirteenth meeting of the Parliament of Catalonia since the falling of Franco's regime, however, during this session the numbering was changed in order to consider as the first meeting the one from the regional parliament established as a result of the 1932 Statue of Autonomy, whose duration was interrupted by the Spanish Civil War.

Effectively, that meant that officially the 13th Parliament is skipped, as the decision didn't alter the numbering of the previous meetings.

In a close second place, Together for Catalonia (JxCat) won 32 seats.

The parties supporting the independence of Catalonia won an overall majority, and for the first time, they got over 50% of the votes (if included those without representation).

The new parliament met for the first time on 12 March 2021 and after two rounds, Laura Borràs (JxCat) was elected as President of the Parliament of Catalonia with the support of ERC.
