On the other hand there are also people in Galicia that don't feel Spanish, however minority they are, the Galician sense of belongiong is totally unrelated to the acceptance of belonging to a Spanish state...which does not mean they hold any bitterness against anyone. History is never motionless and we are still in the long aftermath of a fascist dictatorship.
The US is made up of states which not formed a nation at the time of joining the union, they are just geographic lines made up mostly by colonists, but except for the native peoples -which in strict sense are real nations- the US are a nation formed by different states (exactly the opposite as in Europe).
Galicia has its own language, its well-defined cultural identity and distinctive character,its own economical and physical geography and history. so Galicia is a stateless nation (same as Wales or Scotland). Spain is a state or a nation-state, which as the UK (Scotland, Wales etc) and France (Brittany, Corsega, etc).
No probs, when I talk about nations I'm not talking about nation-states or just states. These are totally different ideas and differ from Europe (where the "nation" concept originated) to other parts of the world, especially the Americas.
I don't get it. Galacia and Portugal share similar culture and Language why does Galacia become an autonomouse regoin of Portugal Like the Azores and Madeira
why portugal dont become in an atonomous region of spain as galicia? it has most sense, why?. Even alphonse X, he was "spanish" king and written spanish history in galician, dont speak bullshit if you dont know, many seccesionists here are fascists
Galicia is NOT Spain!!!! Is Ireland England?? So why Galicia (which it has a different language, folklore and culture from that of Spain) has to be Spain?? In any case it's part of Iberian Peninsula...
you are stupid? which arguments are those? when spain has had a unique folklore or language? NEVER, but since roman era, spain has been spain, youre a fascist.
Not need to rant abuse mate. I said that Galicia is not Spain (but obviously it is "officially" part of the Kingdom of Spain) as Ireland is not part of England (even though a part of Ireland is officially part of the UK). I am just trying to differentiate nationhood from political circumstances.
@Maeloch And sorry for calling you dumb lol i got over-excited there... But yea, it's all semantics... Galicians are Galicians but they're also Spanish.... whether they like it or not.
Spanish-Galician is confusing bcause just Galician would b enough to convey the meaning of a nation called Galicia as opposed to a (Castillian-Andalusian based) Spanish nation.Would you use Welsh-English referred to a Carmarthen cultural xpression?The UK is a state made up of nations,in theory same as Spain, but one of them (the axis Castile-Andalusia) see itself as the core of Spain, so whereas Galicia, Catalonia, Basque Country and Asturias are Iberian nations, not sure about their Spanishness
@Maeloch Look man, it's all semantics alright.....
in reality Galicia, Basque Country, and Catalonia are part of Spain. You don't refer to people from California as Californian-Americans do you? Exactly... Plus, I've been to Galicia plenty of times and in general, the people there are happy and proud to belong to Spain. Yes they were all once upon a time individual nations, but now-a-days it's all part of the Kingdom of Spain.

@JMariense Because Portugal one of the poorest countries in the EU... Portugal would be the one benefiting from that.
