After the unification of socialists and communists in Catalonia at the beginning of the Civil War, the unified party and its trade union became a central force until the republican defeat in 1939. After the Franco regime, socialism became an important force in Catalonia until it started to govern the Generalitat in 2003 and contributed to the re-Catalanisation of the country.
