Gabriel Rufián Romero (born 8 February 1982 in Barcelona) is a Spanish politician and activist. In the Spanish general election of 2015 he led the Republican Left of Catalonia, a pro-independence electoral party.[1] He is also a member of the secretariat of the Assemblea Nacional Catalana and a member of Súmate, two other pro-independence groups.[2]

In the 2016 general election, he was elected to the Spanish Cortes Generales for the constituency of Barcelona. On September 20, 2017, in support of the Catalan referendum on independence on October 1, he said to Mariano Rajoy to "take his dirty hands off Catalan institutions", after the Judiciary of Spain arrested several Catalan politicians. Later he and several other Catalan politicians walked out of the parliament in protest.[3][4]
