Spanish system doesn't allow voting for a concrete person, you vote for a party. Each party has a list of people ordered by them and you have to vote for one list, not for a concrete legislator. As a result, parties usually doesn't give their legislators freedom of vote in the parliament. Only in fe...

As a explanation for the people that isn't living in Asturies: Francisco Javier García Valledor and Rafael Palacios are the two members of the Asturian government that attended to the demonstration. They are from the coalition IU-BA (United Left-Asturian Block), the minority group that shares the go...

Yes, there are many other trade unions with defined political preferences. The biggest union in Spain is CCOO (Comisiones Obreras), with more than 1000000 members, that's traditionally related to the Spanish Communist Party PCE. It was created illegally during the Franco's regime in Asturies, in La ...

These two organizations that I have mentioned aren't political partys (that are incompatible with anarchism) they are trade unions. CNT and CGT keep their anarchist stance. But, as labour unions, their main work is leaded to the defence of worker's rights. As anarchists, they don't believe neither i...

Anarchism isn't completely died, neither in Spain nor in Asturias. It's true that it hasn't the strenght it had before the Spanish Civil War, but here you can read some things about Spanish Anarchism nowdays: The CNT is the traditional spanish anarchist trade union. The CNT is still active today. Th...

Pos you sí creyo que ía necesaria una televisión pública n'Asturias, siempre que seya capaz de faer unos informativos más o menos independientes ya cumpla una función esparciendo la cultura propia ya deixando un poucu de voz a las minorías.

It's a very useful word in spoken Spanish. Not very polite, but very common. It comes from Latin: CUNNUS, that means the same as in Spanish.

Asturian can be defined as a different language taking into account its differences with Spanish and its independent origin. I think this is a subject that nobody can discuss if you knows something about Asturian language and its history. The main problem to accept this reality is that not many peop...

En cuanto al proceso de normalización llevado a cabo por la Academia, no creo que a nadie pueda sorprender que se intente adoptar un estándar enriqueciendo la variante más hablada con palabras de las otras. Eso mismo es lo que se hizo hace mucho tiempo con el castellano y, más recientemente con el c...

- La realidad que yo veo es otra. El uso del castellano mezclado con el asturiano es algo generalizado en la mayor parte de la región. En el medio urbano la lengua hablada es castellano con algunos matices o palabras del bable y en el medio rural se aproxima más a la variante del asturiano propia. L...
