06 October 1934,

From the balcony of the Generalitat of Catalonia, Lluis Companys proclaimed the Republic of Catalonia within the Spanish Federal Republic. When the right entered the Spanish Government, their relationship with Catalonia got worse. The day before, a revolutionary general strike began in the state and spread throughout Catalonia.

In this context it was proclaimed, but the Spanish Government sent armies, killed 74 people, injured 252 people and arrested 5,000 people, including all members of the Generalitat. He abandoned the autonomy of Catalonia.
