Since they had no army, no police, no uniforms, nationalists and separatists had to invent a Catalan institution became the Catalan troops. Was rescued from oblivion a body hated by many Catalans, the "Autonomous Police."
The "Autonomous Police" are created from the victory of the Bourbon troops on AUSTRAC in 1714, in the war of succession, mainly to prevent abuse in rural areas but also worked to prosecute and execute all AUSTRAC or migueletes who fell into their hands.
At that time the body was known as "Esquadros de Catalunya."
saw the light in the town of Valls, near Tarragona, and its founder Antonio Veciana i Pere Villa, mayor of the village, only expand throughout Catalonia, and by the mid-eighteenth century, 16 were the detachments of the existing body throughout the Principality and more than 125 staff members. The expansion of the body was increasing in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. No doubt
Bourbon origin of the body, although it tries to deny their own history, officially on their website, but history is what it is, and Nuria Sales portrayed in his book "Història dels Mossos" who were and who represented this body:
"The origin of the brackets is as Philip as its founder in the war of succession is called squads of armed civilians heading Philip."
The colors of the "Moss" (blue and red) belong to the French crown, which, as relates Nuria Sales:
"Through the ages, remain constant in the uniform of the waiters of square blue and red (colors Bourbon), the dribbling and the curious mixture of sandals and hat."
Manuel Milà i Fontanals, the main character of "Renaixença", collected in the book "Romancer Català" a popular poem entitled "Expedition to Portugal "in which refers to the clothing of the" Autonomous "and indisputable link English:
"Barcelona big city, there is flag stop flag
fire and blood, which is a sign of bad war, we soldiers
We are soldiers of the King of Spain
We are soldiers.
not be so bad, not as the King has called
In Barcelona we will, boys, sit in their place, bring
uniform to serve the King of Spain:
blue espadrille foot vein up to half leg
engalonat hat, as servants of the squad. "
(Barcelona big city, there is flag stop flag
fire and blood, which is bad signal for war,
somos somos Soldados Soldados del rey somos de España
soldiers.
not be so bad, no, as the king has called
In Barcelona we go, boys, lay the square, take
uniform to serve the king of Spain:
blue sandal on the foot, halfway up the leg vein,
decorated hat as boys in the squad. ")
The "Autonomous" existed until 1868 when General Prim decreed the dissolution of the "Esquadros de Catalunya" on the grounds that the Civil Guard, established by the Duque de Ahumada, military Catalan descent, had the same function as the "Autonomous" and was paid by the State, while the "Moss" the municipalities pay and regional governments, although strongly influenced Bourbon character.
When revived in 1875 with the advent of the Bourbons to the throne, was only Barcelona and its own province where were resettled, and the other three Catalan provinces with their respective provincial opted for the unique presence of the Guardia Civil occur therefore an increase in the territorial expansion of this body. The economic issue was central to this determination as in its dissolution in 1868. While the Civil Guard was paid by the State, the "Autonomous Police" received their salary from the council of each province, hence Tarragona, Gerona and Lerida preferred use that portion of their budgets in other incidents since the security had been paid by the State Civil Guard. Barcelona with more resources continued to pay the "Autonomous Police.
With the proclamation of the Second Republic, the" Autonomous "showed their rejection of the new regime because of its historical fidelity monarchy, except the captain of the angle La Garriga, Escofet Captain, who won, betraying his superior command of the armies.
The "Autonomous Police" is a police force that was created as a force and the English monarchy.
