Somatemps
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Somatemps is a collective in Catalonia generally considered to be aligned with the far-right of Spain[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] and also of being Spanish nationalist.[15] They state to be committed to defend what they call "the hispanic identity of Catalonia".[16] It was founded between 2011[17] and November 16, 2013 in Santpedor (Bages),[18][19] where one of its founders, Josep Ramon Bosch, resides.[20] The organisation is led by Javier Barraycoa.[21] Currently Somatemps has around 300 members.[17] The name of Somatemps was intended as word-play between "Som a temps"—"we are in time" (to stop independentism)—and the medieval Catalan militias Sometent.[18] Somatemps has contributed to the creation of the association Catalan Civil Society.[22][23][14][24]
