Catalan Patriotic Movement

Catalan Patriotic Movement (Catalan: Moviment Patriòtic Català; Spanish: Movimiento Patriótico Catalán, MPC) was a minor Spanish national syndicalist political party active in Catalonia, established in 1994 as the political successor of the former armed group Milicia Catalana (MC).

The MPC was formed in Barcelona by former militants of the integralist armed group Milicia Catalana in 1994.

[1][2] It was founded by Carlos Francisoud Araguas, after being released from prison in the 1990s due to his clandestine activities as one of the leaders of said group.

In contrast with its predecessor, the MPC intended to focus on the political path and not the armed struggle supported by MC, although this would not always be fulfilled.

The MPC supported national syndicalism and was strongly influenced by Catholic integralism, with certain inspiration in the Carlista movement.
