Canarian Nationalism - Current Situation

Current Situation

Nowadays there are a lot of parties, trade unions and associations of any kind that describe themselves as "nationalist".

The nationalist parties include CC (Canarian Coalition), NC (Nueva Canarias), FREPIC-AWAÑAK (Popular Front of the Canary Islands), CCN (Nationalist Canarian Centre), ANC (Nationalist Canarian Alternative), Azarug, Partido Nacionalista Canario Alternativa Maga Nacionalista,and UP (People's Union).

There are also nationalist trade unions such as FSOC (Frente Sindical Obrero Canario), IC (Intersindical Canaria), as well as revolutionary organizations like Inekaren. Some radical groups use the word Taknara to refer to the Canary Islands, but other nationalists don't agree with this name.

The movement has recently undergone a modest renaissance. The most popular newspaper in the islands, El Día, has changed its editorial line to fit the nationalists' cause. In its pages it is normal to read the opinion of historical nationalist activists. In particular the "Project for a Federal Canarian Republic", written by Antonio Cubillo, has created a stir and a media debate.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or situation:

    The first opinion that occurs to us when we are suddenly asked about something is usually not our own but only the current one pertaining to our class, position, or parentage; our own opinions seldom swim on the surface.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    The abjection of our political situation is the only true challenge today. Only facing up to this situation in all its desperation can help us get out of it.
    Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
