Josep Tarradellas

In 1931, Tarradellas became general secretary of the Republican Left of Catalonia (ERC).{{Cite web|url=http://www.congreso.es/portal/page/portal/Congreso/Congreso/SDocum/ArchCon/SDHistoDipu/SDIndHistDip?_piref73_1340024_73_1340023_1340023.next_page=/wc/servidorCGI&CMD=VERLST&BASE=DIPH&FMT=DIPHXLDA.fmt&DOCS=1-25&DOCORDER=FIFO&OPDEF=Y&QUERY=%28112470%29.NDIP.|title=Taradellas Joan, José|website=Congreso de los Diputados|access-date=2017-11-30}} He also was deputy at the Cortes that year, Governance and Health councillor when Francesc Macià was President of the Generalitat of Catalonia as well as Public Services, Economy and Culture councillor during the Spanish Civil War.

Exiled to France since 1939, he became President of the Generalitat of Catalonia when Josep Irla resigned, in 1954.{{Cite book|title=L'obra de govern de Josep Tarradellas (1936-1977) : I Simposi d'Història sobre Josep Tarradellas|publisher=Pagès Editors|others=Bonamusa, Francesc, Alegre, Josep., Bricall, Josep Maria, Montilla Aguilera, José, Arxiu de Poblet |year=2008|isbn=9788497796613|edition=1st|location=Lleida |oclc=314357136 |language=ca}}

On 23 October 1977, two years after Francisco Franco's death, the President of the Spanish Government Adolfo Suárez met him to negotiate the reestablishment of the Government of Catalonia, an event which occurred.{{Cite web|url=http://www.elnacional.cat/es/cultura-ideas-artes/marc-pons-ciutadans-catalunya-soc-aqui_204399_102.html |title=Ciutadans de Catalunya, ja soc aquí!|last=Pons|first=Marc|date=2017-10-22|website=ElNacional.cat|access-date=28 June 2020 |language=es}} The sentence pronounced at his arrival has become famous as a symbol: "Ciutadans de Catalunya, ja sóc aquí!" (Catalan for "Citizens of Catalonia, I am here at last!").

He was welcomed solemnly in Barcelona and set up a unity government. He finished his work with the elections for the Catalan Parliament (March 1980), and Jordi Pujol was elected in April.

On 24 July 1986 Tarradellas received the hereditary title marqués de Tarradellas (English: Marquess of Tarradellas) from King Juan Carlos I. Tarradellas died in Barcelona in 1988. The hereditary marquessate is now held by his son, who became the second marquess.{{Cite journal|date=2004-01-04|title=REAL DECRETO 101/2004, de 19 de enero, por el que se rehabilita, sin perjuicio de tercero de mejor derecho, el título de Marqués de Tarradellas, a favor de don Josep Tarradellas i Macià.|url=http://www.boe.es/boe/dias/2004/01/29/pdfs/A03662-03662.pdf |journal=BOE |volume=25|pages=3662}}

On 21 December 2018 the Government of Spain announced that Barcelona–El Prat Airport would be renamed after Tarradellas.{{Cite news|url=https://elpais.com/ccaa/2018/12/21/catalunya/1545383790_265794.html |title=El aeropuerto de Barcelona llevará el nombre de Josep Tarradellas |last=Marcos |first=Jose |date=2018-12-21|work=El País |access-date=28 June 2020 |language=es}}
