Los conceptos de nacionalidad y región en la Constitución de 1978

Abstract

The distinction between nationalities and regions in the Constitution intended, beyond political decentralization itself, to configure Spain as a plurinatural state that integrates different communities with their own languages, cultures and institutions. This distinction has had no practical effects over the years. This has led to a conflict between the state and certain autonomous communities such as Catalonia and the Basque Country. Therefore, the need to recover and grant practical effect to the distinction between the two realities is proposed.
