      Los sucesivos Gobiernos de la Generalitat tuvieron básicamente dos objetivos: crear un poder autonómico a semejanza de un pequeño Estado, con todos los atributos del mismo, y catalanizar a la sociedad, reforzar sus elementos identitarios con el objetivo de diferenciarlos al máximo del resto de españoles, ejerciendo la presión social necesaria para reducir su pluralidad y configurar una Cataluña homogénea.
