José Javier Esparza Torres (born 1963) is a Spanish historian, journalist, essayist and cultural critic.
Career overview
Esparza Torres was born in 1963 in Valencia.[1] He collaborated in Punto y Coma, a journal promoted by Jorge Verstrynge dedicated to the dissemination of Nouvelle Droite ideas in Spain along other authors such as Fernando Sánchez Dragó and Javier Sadaba.[2] Likewise, he also was a promoter of Hespérides, another journal linked to the Nouvelle Droite and Alain de Benoist (although Esparza rejected the pagan or antichristian facet of the movement, which in the latter case he considered "disappointing"),[3] and the metapolitical Proyecto Cultural Aurora.[4] He also participated in La Razón Española, a francoist journal.[5]
On the onset of the 21st century, Esparza, coming from the radical right, devoted himself from his radio platform in the Cadena COPE to the dfense of "Spanish deeds" throughout history, in a chronology that went back to Roman Hispania.[6] He has also written several historical works. His book relative to the Second Republic and the Civil War has been described as the most complete and ordered published to date by Stanley Payne.[7]
He has worked for ABC, Ya and the Correo Group, joining Intereconomía in 2010.[8]
