Catalan Patriotic Movement (Catalan: Moviment Patriòtic Català; Spanish: Movimiento Patriotico Catalán, MPC) was a Spanish national syndicalist political party active in Catalonia, established in 1994 as the political successor of the former armed group Milicia Catalana (MC).[1] They sought to defend Catalan identity within the framework of Spain, advocating for preserving the political unity of the nation, using both Catalan and Spanish languages in their publications and drawing primarily from the concept of Hispanic Catalanism.[2]
The MPC was the political wing of the paramilitary group Milícia Catalana, and the MPC was involved in several bombings.[5]
Some ex-members of the MPC have joined Platform for Catalonia.[6]
