The government of Pere Aragonès was formed on 26 May 2021 following the latter's election as President of the Government of Catalonia by the Parliament of Catalonia on 21 May and his swearing-in on 24 May, as a result of Republican Left of Catalonia (ERC) and Together for Catalonia (Junts) being able to muster a majority of seats in the Parliament with external support from the Popular Unity Candidacy (CUP) following the 2021 Catalan regional election.[1][2] It succeeded the Torra government and was the Government of Catalonia from 26 May 2021 to 12 August 2024, a total of 1,174 days, or 3 years, 2 months and 17 days.

Until 2022, the cabinet comprised members of ERC and Junts, as well as a number of independents proposed by both parties.[3] On 7 October 2022, Junts members voted to abandon the government following the dismissal of their vice president Jordi Puigneró by Aragonès, which resulted from a political crisis sparked after Junts had demanded a confidence vote on the president.[4] Aragonès vowed to remain as the head of a minority cabinet made up of ERC members.[5]
