Still looking for a name for my movement dedicated to throwing off the Provençal-Catalan yoke and restoring decent, pre-Roman values, I chanced on issue 18 of Quaderns de l’Exili, published in 1946 by folks who headed over to Mexico in 1939. The big idea, expressed in the editorial, is to split the peninsula into four great “national” nuclei, comprising Portugal and Galicia, Castile and Castilianised regions, the Basque region and Navarre, and the Levant, which pan-Hispanic federation would be subsumed in a new pan-European political entity. It’s heady stuff, lurching between tequila and the asylum:
… a term used here to refer to the peninsula. “The Catalan-speaking lands” apparently hold exclusive rights to the term “Iberia”, so I may have to rethink my attempts to subvert and take over the Union of Iberian Pagans as part of my march on a new Rome.
