Catalonia (Catalan: Catalunya, Spanish: Cataluña, French: Catalogne) is the core region of the area where Catalan is spoken, delimited by the Spanish autonomous region (comunitat autònoma) of the same name in the north-east of the Spanish state.
The neighbouring Valencia region (Catalan: València), the Balearic Islands (Catalan: Illes Balears), Andorra, and an adjacent area of Aragon (informally referred to as la Franja de Ponent) are closely associated with Catalonia historically and linguistically.
One of the keys to Catalan politics is the fact that Barcelona, because it attracts migrants from all over Spain and from Latin America, is a majority Spanish-speaking city, particularly in working-class areas, while the rural regions remain solidly Catalan-speaking.

Catalans objected violently to the suggestion that they should go to fight abroad for a state that did little for them at home, and the city's streets saw burning churches, barricades and popular committees, though there was little direction to the protest.
The Catalan approach was subtler: an audience at the Palau de la Música sang the unofficial Catalan anthem when Franco visited in 1960; a massive petition against language restrictions was raised in 1963; and a sit-in by Catalan intellectuals at Montserrat was organized in protest against repression in the Basque country.
In the general elections of 1999, enough Spaniards agreed with Aznar's blithe analysis "España va bien" ("Spain is working fine") to give the PP a resounding victory in the national parliament, whilst Catalunya was left under CiU.

Third, it is often hard to ascertain whether or not the purpose of a rule is to ensure or strengthen the representation of minorities (or, on the contrary, to lessen it).
In a democracy, it is the choice made by the voters which is the essential factor in determining the result of the election, in terms of seats as well as votes.
As this choice is made on the basis of the candidates standing for election, the representation of members of national minorities in elected bodies varies according to the number of candidates from such minorities, or at least the number of candidates put forward by organisations which have a chance of winning seats.
