Description
In Aragon the autonomist debate had been in a completely volatile state since October 1918. Amongst the most important landmarks were the Regionalist Week and Assembly undertaken in Zaragoza (November and December 1919) and the Aragonese Assembly in Barcelona (December). From them emerged new opinions on the nature and reach of the Aragonese movement.

Mariano García-Colás
The author rejects the label “regionalism” to name the Aragonese movement, as it is discredited by many as a term that is just a poor imitation of “localism” elevated to the category of clan or tribe. The author’s aversion to this interpretation of regionalism makes him proclaim the unmistakable nationalist character of Aragonism.
