Daniel Cardona

Daniel Cardona (1890-1943), known as 'l'irlandès' for his admiration of the Irish Republican Army's military strategy, was a prominent Catalan nationalist and activist. Exiled during the dictatorship of Miguel Primo de Rivera, he became a key figure in the independentist movement, advocating for direct action and a radical approach to achieving Catalan independence. His involvement in the 1920s conspiracies, including the failed attempts to assassinate Spanish King Alfonso XIII, highlighted the divisions and tensions within the Catalan independence movement.
