Chunta Aragonesista
The Chunta Aragonesista (CHA; en, Aragonese Union)Rendering the party's name has created some confusions due to the similarity with the Spanish word ''junta''. The right translation of Aragonese ''chunta'' is ''unión'' in Spanish and '' union'' in English. This is clearly explained in the party regulations and, during the first years, both names in Spanish and Aragonese were used together as Unión Aragonesista/Chunta Aragonesista with the acronym UA/CHA. The word ''Aragonesista'', too, presents problems. A more literally accurate (if less common) translation is "Aragonist," i.e. ''pro''-Aragon, not just ''from'' Aragon (''aragonés''). is a political party in Aragon (Spain), influenced by eco-socialism and pacifism. CHA defends a federal state, greater financial resources for Aragon, and the protection of the environment and hydrological resources of the Ebro Valley. It promotes the use of the Aragonese language. Organization The National Assembly is the highest organ of repre ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
