Well, that's just one case, there are older ones: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalan_revolt

Pau Claris, head of the Generalitat of Catalonia, called the politician members of the all Principality in order to form a Junta de Braços or Braços Generals (General Estates), a consultive body. (...) This assembly, which worked with individual voting, began to create and apply various revolutionary measures (...), while the tension with the monarchy grew.

Echoes of the past :)

That was a conflict between Habsburg supporters and Bourbon supporters, but those Catalans always spoke in the name of Spain, not Catalonia.
