Jordi Pujol Books

Jordi Pujol i Soley emerged as a significant figure in Catalan nationalism, advocating for Catalonia's recognition as a distinct entity within a federal Spain. His political journey was shaped by a commitment to rebuilding Catalan identity in the wake of the Spanish Civil War and Franco's dictatorship. Pujol championed the principle that this unique identity deserved respect and, facing political opposition, voiced concerns about the diminishing prospects for Catalan autonomy within the Spanish state. His approach blended pragmatic nationalism with persistent negotiation.
