José Javier Esparza Torres (born 1963) is a Spanish journalist, essayist and cultural critic.
He 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 with 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 avoided the pagan or antichristian facet of the movement),[3] and the so-called metapolitical Proyecto Cultural Aurora.[4] He also participated in La Razón Española, a francoist journal.[5]
An the onset of the 21st century, Esparza, coming from the radical right, devoted himself from his radio platform in the Cadena COPE to the laudation of "spanish feats" a long history in a chronology already starting in Roman Hispania.[6] He has also written several essays of historical disclosure. His production relative to the Second Republic and the Civil War has been described as "junk" by Ricardo Robledo.[5]
He has worked for ABC, Ya and the Correo Group, joining Intereconomía in 2010.[7]
