Xavier Torrens

Xavier Torrens is a political scientist and author recognized for his analysis of contemporary Catalan politics, particularly in the context of rising nationalist and populist movements. His work, including the book 'Salvar Catalunya', examines the emergence of parties like Aliança Catalana, which taps into public sentiments following political turmoil and historical events, such as the 2017 independence referendum. Torrens provides insights into the dynamics of Catalan nationalism and the reactions of established political parties to the growth of this new ultra-nationalist faction.
