In late May, Madrid refused to recognize a cabinet proposed by Torra, which included exiled and imprisoned Catalan politicians.
Torra said the actions of the Spanish government broke the law and violated his political rights.
Nevertheless, the Spanish government approved Torra's second Cabinet list. Earlier on Friday, a decree on new regional government appointments was published in the Official Gazette of the Government of Catalonia.
The regional government is set to regain its autonomy and begin working on Saturday.

Responding to the accusations against him, Rajoy rejected the political proceedings as a plot by Sánchez and his party to undemocratically seize power.
