The draft Statute was completed on 20 June 1931 in Núria (Ripollès, Girona) and finally approved in the Spanish Parliament on 9 September 1932.

Within three days of government, Macià received the visit of the Spanish ministers Fernando de los Ríos, Marcelino Domingo and Lluís Nicolau d'Olwer.

The Provisional Deputation, made up of representatives of Catalan municipalities, and the Government appointed a commission in charge of the redaction of the draft of the statute of autonomy.

One of the main points is the definition of Catalonia as an autonomous state within the Spanish Republic; in addition, the preambule also offered the possibility of a future self-determination for the Catalan people.

The Republican Left of Catalonia won a large majority of seats, and Francesc Macià was confirmed as President of the Generalitat.

The Parliament of Catalonia, however, saw an important legislative activity in order to deploy and consolidate the recently acquired self-government, as it was the case of the Statute of Internal Regime, passed on 25 May 1933.
