Spanish unionism is a despective label used by the Basque and Catalonian nationalism to refer the political attitude which favours the continuity of the Kingdom of Spain as a unitary state or nation.
Nationalist parties are currently in charge of both the Catalan and Basque parliaments, whilst in Galicia, Valencia and the Balearics, the People's Party, a staunch opponent of Spain's nationalist movements, is in power. However, nationalists in Spain need not necessarily support independence.
Specifically, the expression Spanish unionism has been used for the last 10 years in the context of the Catalan independentist debate. Prior of this, the usage of the label was limited to the Basque nationalism. The import of the use of the term Unionism on the Spanish context is related to the peripheral nationalisms attempts in order to introduce the terminology of the The Troubles both in the Basque Conflict and Catalonian independence debate.
