Galician independence movement

The Galician independence movement (Galician: movemento de independenza galego) or the Galician separatist movement (Galician: movemento separatista galego) is a political movement and social movement derived from Galician nationalism that supports the independence of Galicia and the other Galician-speaking territories outside the Autonomous Community of Galicia, including As Portelas, O Bierzo, and the Eo-Navian lands (which are collectively known as Galicia irredenta) from Spain. Popular support for separatism in Galicia can be traced to the 1920s and 1930s, nearly a century after the dissolution of the Kingdom of Galicia in 1833, when Spain underwent a strong process of centralization in which Galicia lost its political, economic, military and diplomatic powers and Spain pursued bureaucratic centralization alongside juridical, linguistic and cultural homogenization.
