Joan Josep Nuet i Pujals (born 6 August 1964) is a Spanish politician from Catalonia who previously served as Member of the Congress of Deputies of Spain.

After a trial on charges of disobedience for his role in the Catalan declaration of independence, he was handed down an eight-month ban from public office and expelled from Congress on 4 May 2021.

[12][13] Nuet took part in the negotiations that led to the 2002 electoral agreement between EUiA and Initiative for Catalonia Greens (ICV).

[19] At the IU's 9th Assembly in November 2008 Nuet headed the Nacional II list of candidates in the election of the IU's federal political council (CPF) which came in third, behind the lists headed by Cayo Lara and Inés Sabanés, after receiving 144 of the 761 votes (19%), translating into 17 out of 90 seats on the CPF.

[11][26] In February 2011 ICV–EUiA nominated Joan Saura, despite the objections of EUiA, to be its representative in the Senate resulting in Nuet losing his seat.

[36][37][38] In June 2017 President of Catalonia Carles Puigdemont announced that a referendum on Catalan independence would be held on 1 October 2017.

[39][40] The Catalan Parliament passed legislation on 6 September 2017 authorising the referendum which would be binding and based on a simple majority without a minimum threshold.

[54][55] Almost immediately the Senate of Spain invoked article 155 of the constitution, dismissing Puigdemont and the Catalan government and imposing direct rule on Catalonia.

[56][57] The following day Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy dissolved the Catalan Parliament and called for fresh regional elections on 21 December 2017.

[58][59] On 30 October 2017 Spanish Attorney General José Manuel Maza laid charges of rebellion, sedition and misuse of public funds at the Supreme Court against Nuet and five other members of the Board of the Parliament of Catalonia (Ramona Barrufet, Lluís Corominas, Carme Forcadell, Lluís Guinó and Anna Simó).

Nuet was released without any precautionary measures but the other five had to pay bail (€100,000 for Forcadell, €25,000 each for Barrufet, Corominas, Guinó and Simó), surrender their passport and present themselves at a court weekly.

[73][74] In October 2018 Nuet, Elisenda Alamany and others critical of the Catalunya en Comú leadership's lack of support for Catalan sovereigntism formed the Sobiranistes platform.

[80][81] On 18 March 2019 Nuet announced that he was resigning from the Parliament of Catalonia, leaving Catalunya en Comú and that he and the Sobiranistes would align themselves with ERC.

[82][83] Nuet contested the 2019 general election as a Republican Left of Catalonia–Sovereigntists electoral alliance candidate in the Province of Barcelona and was re-elected to the Congress of Deputies.
