Abstract

This paper analyses, which is the nature of the federal and state coercion and what would be the accurate tools to evolve such coercion. But must highlight the great relevance of the State, acting against breaching of legal duties and even more, when such defaults mean a profound risk for the Spanish general interest. Besides, that could mean a new political view. After that, the paper is focussing on the exclusive occasion in which was applied the content of the 155 section over Catalonia (October 2017) and in the manner, in which those measures were developed provoking the dissolution of the Catalonian parliament and the dismission of its executive branch. In the same way, it was generated a deep debate between supporters and detractors around the significance of 155. What is really its effectiveness, after having been declared almost fully according to the constitution by the Spanish Constitutional Court through the two known judgment in July in 2019.
