In September 2015 he was accused of maintaining a channel on YouTube where he uploaded videos of far-right ideological content under the pseudonym of Josep Codina.[7] Shortly afterwards, he announced his resignation as president of the Catalan Civil Society alleging personal motives.[8] Two weeks before, a lawsuit against Josep Ramon Bosch had been filed for the insults and threats that he should have made from an anonymous Facebook profile.[8][9] In court, he refused to declare[10] and finally the case was archived for having prescribed the offense.[11] Involved in the same timeline were publications of fascist videos with his voice under a false Facebook account which he owned.[12] Bosch has also participated in acts of the Francisco Franco National Foundation. Societat Civil Catalana, which at the time Bosch presided, claimed he was accompanying his father.[13]

Josep has contributed to the prologue of the book "El hijo de la Africana" (The son of the African) written by Pau Guix.[14][15]
