Dolça Catalunya
Spanish far-right blog / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dolça Catalunya (equivalent in English as 'Sweet Catalonia'), is an online blog of opinion and essay linked to the Spanish far-right.[1][2][3][4][5] It is written in a deliberately macaronic amalgam of Catalan and Spanish and deals with the events, language and politics that involve the linguistical domain of the Catalan Countries. Founded in October 2013 mainly by Guillem Elizalde Monroset,[1][6][5] its articles promote the territorial unity of Spain and the language secessionism of Catalan with fake news[7][8][9][10] and the incitement of diverse social discriminations and racism, especially Catalan phobia.[7][9]

Even though the website is announced under the slogan Seny de catalanes bajo el nacionalismo ('Maturity of the Catalans subdued by nationalism') and described as a blog written by anonymous citizens, it is directed and edited by members associated with extreme conservatism, the Spanish far-right, the fundamentalist Catholicism from the Opus Dei prelature and the academic and governing staff of the private Abat Oliba CEU University.[3][9][11]
