Catalan independentism is a Political Movement which supports the Independence of Catalonia , and nowadays also commonly the whole Catalan Countries , from Spain and France . The Estelada Flag , in its blue and red versions, has become its main symbol. HISTORY The wish to independence in Catalonia is as old at least as the Nueva Planta Decrees try to abolish the Catalan Constitutions in the year 1714 . The first , Bandera Negra , Nosaltres Sols or the Partit Català Proletari . After the Spanish Civil War , the Front Nacional De Catalunya became the main referencial party. However, we may consider that modern Catalan independentism was actually born in the 1960s with the Partit Socialista D'Alliberament Nacional (PSAN). Since then, this movement has mostly assumed a Left-wing political trend and started to be based on the Catalan Countries instead of only Catalonia . By the 1970s , PSAN split in several factions, and many other groups appeared, as also the Terrorist Group Terra Lliure . In the 1980 s, the Moviment De Defensa De La Terra agglutinated most of the political independentism until it also divided by the end of the decade. On the while other movements such as Crida A La Solidaritat , and the Esquerra Republicana De Catalunya in the beginning of the 1990s , progressively evolved towards more independentist positions. 's ''Jo no sóc espanyol'' (I'm not Spanish) is one of the most popular books related to Catalan Independentism ]] MODERN INDEPENDENTISM In 2005 , the only organization represented in a Parliament , such as the Spanish or the Catalonian ones, that campaigns for independence is the Esquerra Republicana De Catalunya . Other present-day independentist parties or coalitions are Endavant , the PSAN , the MDT and the CUP . There are also youth sections such as the JERC , Maulets or the Coordinadora D'Assemblees De Joves De L'Esquerra Independentista , and a pair of students' organizations, CEPC and Alternativa Estel . In recent years, there has been a noticeable expansion of Catalan independentism Ideology . As example, the increasing publication of books about the topic. Several Catalan independentism arguments are also increasingly being supported by a wider political spectrum; for instance, with personalities such as the Liberal Economist Xavier Sala I Martín . In Spain, some consider this current rising may have been triggered as a reaction especially against the policy of the latter Spanish Government s of the Partido Popular party, and the fierce opposition to certain legislative reforms such as the new proposal of Statute Of Catalonia .
