13th Parliament of Catalonia

The 13th Parliament of Catalonia, after 4 June 2021 known as the 14th Parliament of Catalonia, was the meeting of the Parliament of Catalonia, with the membership determined by the results of the regional election held on 14 February 2021. The congress met for the first time on 12 March 2021 and was dissolved on 19 March 2024 due to the snap election that Pere Aragonès announced would take place on 12 May 2024.

It is the thirteenth meeting of the Parliament of Catalonia since the falling of Franco's regime, however, during this session the numbering was changed in order to consider as the first meeting the one from the regional parliament established as a result of the 1932 Statue of Autonomy, whose duration was interrupted by the Spanish Civil War. Effectively, that meant that officially the 13th Parliament is skipped, as the decision didn't alter the numbering of the previous meetings.

Election
The 14th Catalan regional election was held on 14 February 2021. At the election the Socialists' Party of Catalonia (PSC-PSOE) and Republican Left of Catalonia (ERC) became the largest party in the parliament with 33 seats each. In a close second place, Together for Catalonia (JxCat) won 32 seats. The parties supporting the independence of Catalonia won an overall majority, and for the first time, they got over 50% of the votes (if included those without representation).

History
The new parliament met for the first time on 12 March 2021 and after two rounds, Laura Borràs (JxCat) was elected as President of the Parliament of Catalonia with the support of ERC.
