history
The Maulets organization was founded in 1988 as a youth organization of the Moviment de Defensa de la Terra ("Movement for the Defense of the Country"). The first events took place in Mataró , Vinaròs , Girona and Valencia . In 1989 it became the youth organization of Catalunya Lliure ("Free Catalonia"), a Catalan regional party. In 1995 the Maulets founded the Plataforma per la Unitat d'Acció ("Platform for unified action") and in 1998 they finally merged with the organization Joves Independentistes Revolucionaris i Revolucionàries ("Young revolutionary independence fighters") to form the Maulets, el jovent independentista revolucionari (" Maulets, revolutionary youth for independence ”). Since the Maulets fight for the unification of all Països Catalans , the area of their occurrence extended to northern Catalonia in France .
On May 5, 2007 a spokesman for the Maulets published a declaration in which the defense of the struggle for independence by the Basque and Catalan youth organizations is justified by the violence of the Spanish state. This declaration can be seen as a reaction to the ban on the three Basque youth organizations Jarrai, Haika and Segi by the Spanish Supreme Court, the Tribunal Supremo.
