Lexit: Leon's bid to become an autonomous region

Back on the 26th of June the provincial government of Leon took the first step towards what has been dubbed "Lexit", that is, the regional independence of the provinces of Leon, Zamora and Salamanca and their constitution as the 18th autonomous region in Spain.

The motion approved is not binding yet... But it is a reflection of the disappointment of the Leones society with their regional Castilian government. To tell us about the historical, social and political background behind "leonesismo", the movement that demands the regional autonomy of the "País Leonés", on this broadcast, we spoke with Vera Colwell, from the association "Conceyu País Llyones" and with Eduardo Lopez, from "leonesista" party ALANTRE.
