Abstract

The main objective of this article is producing a legal analysis of the present situation what local entities face in Catalonia after the enactment of the Statute of Autonomy in 2006 which included the «veguería» as a new entity in the local level. This analysis will take into account the recent sentence of the Spanish Constitutional Court of 28 June 2010 and the enactment of the Veguerías Act, 3 August 2010. To do this analysis a comparison between the organization and legal nature of the provinces and the «veguerias» will be conducted. This analysis will lead to state that the «veguerías» fulfils the same role and missions that actually play the provinces.
