TheChunta Aragonesista (CHA; English:Aragonese Union)[7] is apolitical party inAragon (Spain), influenced byeco-socialism andAragonese nationalism. CHA defends a federal state, greater financial resources for Aragon, and the protection of the environment and hydrological resources of theEbro Valley. It promotes the use of theAragonese language.
CHA was founded in 29 June 1986.[8]
In the2000 and2004 general elections, CHA won 0.4% of the vote and one seat forJosé Antonio Labordeta, a folk singer in theZaragoza constituency. It lost the seat in 2008 after Labordeta retired from the congress. In the 2011 election, it regained the seat as part of an electoral alliance withUnited Left.
José Luis Soro has been the president since February 2012.
The CHA has been described asAragonese nationalist[1] andeco-socialist.[9] In 2005, the party campaigned against the ratification of theEuropean Constitution.
