The National Front of Catalonia (Catalan: Front Nacional de Catalunya, FNC) was a Catalan nationalist party which was active between 1940 and 1990. The FNC was created in 1940 by former members of the Estat Català and the Catalan Nationalist Party, with the latter dissolving and splitting its membership between the Estat Català and the FNC. The main goals of the FNC were to present an opposing front to the Spanish State of caudillo Franco and to advocate for Catalan independence.[2] In 1946, the FNC became an officially independent party by breaking its relationship with the Estat Català.
