Some of her ancestors were involved in local politics.
At the 26th National Congress (2011) she was elected general Secretary of Esquerra Republicana.
It was then that she assumed the leadership within the party, together with Oriol Junqueras, president of Esquerra Republicana.

In 2015 she stood again in the Catalan elections, this time as part of the pro-independence coalition Junts pel Sí, and she was also elected representative and spokesperson of the parliamentary group.
During the 2017 elections to the Catalan Parliament, Marta Rovira and Oriol Junqueras headed Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya – Catalunya Sí candidacy in Barcelona constituency.
Esquerra Republicana won 32 seats.
Rovira's main political motivations are the defence of human rights, especially women's rights, social justice, and the independence of Catalonia.
Rovira stands for republicanism as a model that considers the general interest and the common good, equal opportunities, transparency and zero corruption.
As a pro-independence activist, Rovira argues that republican principles can only be achieved in a Catalan Republic, and this must be won in a referendum that allows Catalans to choose their future.
On 22 December 2017, she was charged by the Spanish Supreme Court for an alleged crime of rebellion for her participation during the organisation of the referendum on self-determination on 1 October 2017.
She was summoned to testify by the same court on 19 February 2018 and eventually released on bail of €60,000.

On 22 March 2018, after the failed vote for the investiture of Jordi Turull as president of the Generalitat de Catalunya, Rovira resigned, along with Carme Forcadell and Dolors Bassa, from her seat as a member of Parliament.
The following day, she decided not to appear before the Supreme Court, claiming that she did not have enough judicial guarantees, and went into exile in Switzerland, where she currently lives.
On the same day, 23 March 2018, judge Pablo Llarena activated a European and international arrest warrant and an extradition request against Rovira, in addition to those reactivated against Carles Puigdemont, Antoni Comín, Lluís Puig, Meritxell Serret and Clara Ponsatí.
On 19 July 2018, in view of the decision of the German judiciary against the surrender of Carles Puigdemont for the crime of rebellion, Llarena withdrew all European and international arrest warrants issued, including Rovira's.
At present, Rovira remains in exile in Switzerland.
She cannot return to Spain since she is under a warrant for her arrest and imprisonment.
In case she left Switzerland, she would have to face a European arrest warrant.
