Abstract

Narcís Lloveras Plaja (1876-1947) was a local correspondent who, during the Primo de Rivera dictatorship and the Second Spanish Republic, worked out of the town La Bisbal (in the Empordà region of Catalonia) for the Girona federal republican newspaper El Autonomista, which became LAutonomista in 1933. From 1922 to 1936 Lloveras published weekly articles, which focused mainly on municipal politics. Although his articles had to pass the filter of the dictatorship censor, he had difficulties with the mayor and was the target of a government sanction, which was lifted thanks to the support of the journalists association and the editors-inchief of the Girona newspapers. When he was 60 years old and the Spanish Civil War had broken out, he volunteered and went to the Aragon front as a member of the Macià-Companys Division of Esquerra Republicana of Catalonia. During the first year there, numerous reports of his were published. In January 1939 he went into exile in Ceret, France, where he died in January 1947.
