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 current of our thoughts made as sudden bends as the river, which was continually opening new prospects to the east or south, but we are aware that rivers flow most rapidly and shallowest at these points.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A point has been reached where the peoples of the Americas must take cognizance of growing ill-will, of marked trends toward aggression, of increasing armaments, of shortening tempers—a situation which has in it many of the elements that lead to the tragedy of general war.... Peace is threatened by those who seek selfish power.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
