ABSTRACT

This chapter is divided into three sections. In the first section I analyse the ideological content of CDC, along the same lines as the other political parties considered so far. The second section looks at the ideological content of UDC. And in the third section I examine the nationalist thinking of Jordi Pujol, President of the Generalitat since 1980. I have decided to distinguish between the official position of CDC and the specific ideology of its leader, expressed in his extensive written work, because it would be difficult to incorporate his nationalist theory in full into the corpus of a political party. I devote a section to Pujolism in view of the extremely influential role played by Jordi Pujol as President of the Generalitat of Catalonia for more than twenty years, encompassing the whole transition to democracy.
