Albert Botran i Pahissa (born 14 January 1984) is a Spanish historian and politician from Catalonia and a former member of the Congress of Deputies of Spain. He was previously a member of the Parliament of Catalonia.[1]
Early life
Botran was born on 14 January 1984 in Molins de Rei, Catalonia.[2][3] He has a degree in history and a master's degree in comparative history from the Autonomous University of Barcelona.[2][3]
Career
Botran has been active in the leftist Catalan independence movement since 2002 and helped found the Molins de Rei branch of Popular Unity Candidacy (CUP) in 2007.[3][4] He was a member of the CUP's national secretariat from 2009 to 2013 and from 2018 to 2019.[2][3] Botran works for the Òmnium Cultural.[3][4] In 2010 he won the 24th Francesc Carreras i Candi Award for his work Pensar Històricament els Països Catalans. La Historiografia i el Projecte Nacional dels Països Catalans (1960-1985).[3][5]
Botran contested the 2011 local elections as a Popular Unity Candidacy–Active People (CUP-PA) electoral alliance candidate in Molins de Rei and was elected.[6][7] Botran was one of the signatories of the October 2014 Nous Temps, Noves Eines - Per la Independència, pel Socialisme, pels Països Catalans: Ni un pas Enrere’, manifesto by leftist Catalan nationalists.[8][9] The manifesto led to the formation, in November 2014, of Poble Lliure of which Botran is a member.[3][4][10] He did not seek re-election at the 2015 local elections.[11]
Botran contested the 2015 regional election as a CUP candidate in the Province of Barcelona and was elected to the Parliament of Catalonia.[12][13] In February 2017 Botran attended an event in Castelló de Farfanya marking the 30th death anniversary of Catalan independence activist Julià Babia, a member of the Movement for Defence of the Land.[14][15] As a consequence, in September 2017 the Spanish Attorney General started an investigation on charges of extolling terrorism against four members of Poble Lliure: Botran, Toni Casserras, Ferran Dalmau and Guillem Fuster.[16][17] In December 2018 the Audiencia Nacional started investigating the case against the four and three others - Marcel·lí Canet, Marcel Casellas and Josep Maria Cervelló.[18]
At the 2017 regional election Botran was placed 81st on CUP's list of candidates in the Province of Barcelona but the party only won three seats in the province and as a result he failed to get re-elected.[19][20] He contested the 2019 November general election as a Popular Unity Candidacy–For Rupture candidate in the Province of Barcelona and was elected to the Congress of Deputies.[21][22] In 2023 general elections he wasn't reelected.
