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.
