This work seeks to establish the type of political culture and communication strategy that autonomist political groups in Spain promote on Twitter. It presents the results of a topic analysis of 18 610 tweets published between September 2019 and February 2020 by users associated with eleven Spanish political groups, their leaders, and spokespersons in the Congress of Deputies. The data show features associated with the structure of the messages and topics addressed, as well as communication strategies and differentiated political cultures that vary according to the political profile of the groups.

Keywords : political culture; communication strategies; social networks; politics; political actors; Twitter.
