However, since neither of the two governments wanted to start a new confrontation, representatives of the same negotiated over the summer the introduction of amendments in the regulation that the law had to develop. But the agreement reached between Samper and Companys was broken when the new government headed by Alejandro Lerroux was set up in Madrid at the beginning of October and three CEDA ministers were part of it. The Revolution of October 1934 began immediately afterwards, in which Companys was one of the protagonists with the Proclamation of the Catalan State, within the "Federal" Spanish Republic. The failure of the Revolution led to the imprisonment of Companys and the dissolution of his government and the suspension of the Statute of Autonomy.
