Aragonese nationalism
Political movement in Spain
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aragonese nationalism (Aragonese: Aragonesismo)[1] is a political movement that seeks greater regional autonomy from the Spanish State for Aragon, and even its independence. Its principles are based on the idea that Aragon is a historical nation having been a kingdom in its own right, with its history, monarchs,[2] laws,[3] currency,[4] language and culture.
