Ideology

The Nationalist Republican Left Party (Catalan: Partit Nacionalista Republicà d'Esquerra, PNRE) was a Catalan political party founded in October 1933 as a result of a schism from the Republican Left of Catalonia (ERC). The party quickly rebuilt bridges with the ERC and entered the ERC-led government in 1934, as a result of which a number of prominent leaders were arrested and imprisoned following the events of 6th October 1934. The PNRE was ultimately reabsorbed into the ERC in February 1936.

Members of the party were known colloquially as lluhins (from the surname of party leader, Joan Lluhí), or panarres (a humorous adaptation of the initials of the party).
