The Generalitat is the institutional system in which the self-government of Catalonia is organized. It consists of the Parliament, the Presidency of the Generalitat, the Government and the institutions, the Council for Statutory Guarantees, the Ombudsman, the Public Audit Office and the Catalonia Broadcasting Council.
The municipalities, regions and other local organizations determined by the law also constitute the institutional system of the Generalitat, through which the Generalitat is organized territorially, notwithstanding their autonomy.
The power of the Generalitat comes from the people of Catalonia and is exercised according to what is laid down in this Statute and the Constitution.
