Galician Statute of Autonomy (1936) - Legacy

Legacy

The Galician Statute of Autonomy of 1936, although never implemented, was a fundamental piece of legislation for the future of Galicia. With the end of the Francoist dictatorship (1977) and passing of the Spanish Constitution (1978), a process of devolution took place in Spain. Galicia gained the rank of pre-autonomous community in 1979, achieving full status in 1981 with the passing of the current Statute of Autonomy. In other words, the Galician Statute of Autonomy of 1981 is seen as many as the heir of the 1936 text.
