The Republican Youth (in Catalan: Jovent Republicà) is a left-wing political party, and also the youth wing of the Republican Left of Catalonia (in Catalan: Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya, ERC), a Catalan pro-independence party. Until April 2018 it was known as Young Republican Left of Catalonia.[2] (JERC in Catalan initials).
According to their declaration of principles, the aim of Jovent Republicà is to "attain a democratic society, free of any social or national oppression within an ecologically balanced territory, by bringing awareness and mobilizing the youth of the Catalan Countries (Països Catalans)". They support the independence of Catalonia and the rest of the Països Catalans. It is currently the largest youth organisation in Catalonia, with over 1,400 members.
One of their main annual activities is the political music festival, Acampada Jove, which attracts thousands of Catalan youngsters each year.[3] For the past ten years it has been held in the southern Catalan town of Montblanc.[4]
Their current spokesman is Kènia Domènech, serving his first term in the position after becoming the first woman in doing so. Jovent Republicà also publishes its own magazine, called La Veu del Jovent (The Voice of the Young). Like ERC, they use both the traditional blue and socialist red versions of the Catalan pro-independence flag, the estelada.
