Platform for Catalonia (Catalan: Plataforma per Catalunya, PxC) was a far-right political party rooted in Catalonia, Spain, which centred its political agenda around controlling immigration and was opposed to Catalan independence. It was strongly anti-Islamic and was widely considered a racist, xenophobic political force.[14][15][16][17] Its leader was Josep Anglada, town councillor in Vic.
PxC had eight local representatives, often in cities with tensions between locals and immigrants. They did not have any representatives at the provincial, regional or national level. In 2014, the faction of PxC supporting Catalan independence splintered to form a new far-right pro-independence party called "Som Catalans" (We are Catalans).[18][19] PxC merged with the Spanish nationalist party VOX in February 2019.[20]
