Galician Nationalism
Galician nationalism is a form of nationalism found mostly in Galicia, which asserts that Galicians are a nation and that promotes the cultural unity of Galicians. The political movement referred to as modern Galician nationalism was born at the beginning of the twentieth century from the idea of Galicianism. Ideology Historians, geographers and ethnologists recognize the existence of a Galician ethnic group, forming a singular unit in a specific territory. However, this is a wide conceptualization that in political terms allows many possible variants. Inside Galician nationalism two main ideological currents can be found: * Autonomist: claims for an extended autonomy of Galicia, further devolution and (in occasions) the transformation of Spain into a federal state where Galicia would eventually achieve self-determination. * Pro-independence: campaigns for immediate and total independence from Spain. Both autonomists and independentists have points in common, such as t ...

Galicia Irredenta
("Unredeemed Galicia") or ("Outer" or "External Galicia"), also spelled as and and also known as or ("Eastern Strip"), is a term used for all Galician language, Galician-speaking territories located outside of Galicia (Spain), Galicia. These are all located in Spain, in either Asturias or Castile and León. These territories are sometimes divided into three subregions: El Bierzo ( in Galician), Eo-Navia ( in Galician) and As Portelas (or Upper Sanabria, or in Galician). There have been several attempts from these territories to join Galicia. An example is Porto de Sanabria, a small village where, in 2018, a vote was organized to join to the region due to the lack of response from the government of Castile and León to requests from locals to fix a road. 202 people voted in favor, 19 against and 6 did a blank vote. However, this vote did not intend any official change and was only made to know the inhabitants' opinion. Another example was El Bierzo, a ''Comarcas of Spain, ...

Galician Statute Of Autonomy
The Statute of Autonomy of Galicia of 1981 () is the current basic institutional norm of Galicia (Spain), Galicia. The Xunta de Galicia, Galician Government, Parliament of Galicia, Parliament and High Court of Galicia are regulated by it. Genesis of the 1981 Statute The Statute passed in 1981 has its precedent in the Statute of Autonomy of Galicia of 1936, Statute that had been drafted and voted in 1936. This earlier Statute could not be implemented due to the Spanish coup of July 1936 and the Spanish Civil War, which started in 1936. Hence, with the end of Francoist Spain in 1977, a process of devolution began in the Spanish State. This political and administrative process took form in the passing of the Statutes of Autonomy, regulated by the Spanish Constitution of 1978. On 16 March 1979, Galicia attained the rank of "pre-autonomous community", and in June 1979 Galician members to the Spanish Parliament submitted a draft for a Statute of Autonomy. Once the Constitutional Com ...

Galician Parliamentary Election, 2012
A regional election was held in Galicia on Sunday, 21 October 2012, to elect the 9th Parliament of the autonomous community. All 75 seats in the Parliament were up for election. The election was held simultaneously with a regional election in the Basque Country. President Alberto Núñez Feijóo announced the election following Lehendakari Patxi López's decision to schedule a Basque snap regional election for 21 October 2012. The vote was seen as an electoral test on the economic policy of Mariano Rajoy's government, which had been elected at the 2011 Spanish general election and had undertaken harsh spending cuts which had seen its popularity ratings plummet in opinion polls. Feijóo aimed at securing reelection for a second term in office at the helm of the regional People's Party (PP), for which he needed the party to retain the absolute majority it commanded in parliament to prevent an alternative coalition being formed between the Socialists' Party of Galicia (PSdeG–PS ...
