Presently in power on the regional level. Secretary General Jordi Pujol; he's also president of the Generalitat de Catalunya. There are other nationalist political parties (Esguerra Republicana), but this is the biggest. Until the last national elections, it was also considered the "kingmaker" around here (Spain).

two-party coalition
it is in fact a long-standing coalition of two very similar parties, both Catalan nationalist and both conservative/christian democrats, but they have separate party organs etc.They have been together for so long and diffrences between them are so slight that in fact everyone thinks of them as a single political party.
