Galician Statute Of Autonomy (1936)
The Galician Statute of Autonomy (1936) was a statute of autonomy for Galicia. It was voted in referendum and presented to the Spanish Parliament. Yet, it could never be implemented because of the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) and subsequent Francoist dictatorship (1939-1977). The 1936 statute was drafted by the Partido Galeguista (Galicianist Party), and it is the historical precedent of the current Galician Statute of Autonomy of 1981.
