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:
“Reputation runs behind the current state of affairs.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“All of Western tradition, from the late bloom of the British Empire right through the early doom of Vietnam, dictates that you do something spectacular and irreversible whenever you find yourself in or whenever you impose yourself upon a wholly unfamiliar situation belonging to somebody else. Frequently it’s your soul or your honor or your manhood, or democracy itself, at stake.”
—June Jordan (b. 1939)
