Josep Ramon Bosch
Josep Ramon Bosch i Codina is a businessman and Spanish Catalan political activist focused on supporting Spanish nationalism. He belonged to the People's Party. He is the founder of Somatemps, a far-right group that defends "the Hispanic identity of Catalonia", and presided the unionist platform of the Catalan Civil Society. He has also participated in La Contra Deportiva, an online newspaper dedicated to RCD Espanyol, led by General Secretary of Platform for Catalonia, Roberto Hernando. Currently he is in charge of convincing Manuel Valls for campaigning in 2019 Spain's local elections as a Citizen's candidate.
In September 2015 he was accused of maintaining a channel on YouTube where he uploaded videos of far-right ideological content under the pseudonym of Josep Codina. Shortly afterwards, he announced his resignation as president of the Catalan Civil Society alleging personal motives. Two weeks before, a lawsuit against Josep Ramon Bosch had been filed for the insults and threats that he should have made from an anonymous Facebook profile. In court, he refused to declare and finally the case was archived for having prescribed the offense. Involved in the same timeline were publications of fascist videos with his voice under a false Facebook account which he owned. Bosch has also participated in acts of the Francisco Franco National Foundation. Societat Civil Catalana, which at the time Bosch presided, claimed he was accompanying his father.
Josep has contributed to the prologue of the book "El hijo de la Africana" written by Pau Guix.
