Early life

Career

Gómez is a journalist.[2] He joined Young Republican Left of Catalonia (JERC) in 2004 and Republican Left of Catalonia (ERC) in 2007.[3] He was JERC's Barcelona spokesperson from 2007 to 2011 and JERC's national spokesperson from 2011 to 2016.[3][5] He is a member of Òmnium Cultural, has been associated with Coordinadora d'Associacions per la Llengua Catalana (CAL) and is an affiliate of Intersindical-CSC.[3][6] He is also a member of FC Barcelona.[3]

Gómez contested the 2015 regional election as a Junts pel Sí (JxSí) electoral alliance candidate in the Province of Barcelona and was elected to the Parliament of Catalonia.[7][8] At the 2017 regional election Gómez was placed 19th on the Republican Left of Catalonia–Catalonia Yes (ERC–CatSí) alliance's list of candidates in Barcelona but the alliance only managed to win 18 seats in the province and as a result he failed to get re-elected.[9][10] However, in January 2018 he was appointed to the Catalan Parliament after Carles Mundó, the number 5 candidate on ERC–CatSí's list for Barcelona, declined to take his seat in Parliament for personal reasons.[11][12][13]

Gómez contested the 2019 general election as a Republican Left of Catalonia–Sovereigntists electoral alliance candidate in the Province of Barcelona and was elected to the Congress of Deputies.[14][15]
