Andecha Astur

What Andecha Astur does

Andecha Astur is a left-wing Asturian nationalist political party founded around 2000, headquartered in Asturias, Spain, with a documented presence in Gijón and activity across multiple Asturian municipalities including Oviedo, Langreo, Siero, Navia, and Tinéu. The organization advocates for Asturian sovereignty, self-determination, and independence, and positions itself as the only Asturian political force committed to full independence without affiliation to any Spanish national party. Its agenda spans sociopolitical domains including defense of public healthcare and education, Asturian language officiality, workers' rights (notably for employees of crisis-affected firms such as ENCE, Duro Felguera, ALSA, and ArcelorMittal), environmental protection against unregulated wind farms and conifer reforestation, anti-monarchism, and opposition to the 'Principado' institutional framework imposed from Madrid. It commemorates historical events such as the October 1934 Revolution and the 1937 Declaration of Sovereigny by the Sovereign Council of Asturias and León.

The organization operates through a community-led and event-driven go-to-market model. It fields candidates in national elections (Congreso/Senado), municipal elections (conceyos), and European Parliament elections — the latter through the Agora Repúbliques coalition alongside ERC, EH Bildu, BNG, Puyalón, and Ahora Canarias. It runs grassroots assemblies (Conceyu Nacional), public rallies, protests, and commemorations, and distributes its electoral program ('Asturies nes tos manes' with 25 principles) via its website. Funding derives from member donations and sympathizer contributions. Leadership is structured around an Executive Committee (Xunta Executiva) including a Secretary General of Organization (Paulo Arboleya Canteli) and executive members (Mariu Arbesú, Llucía Fernández). Communications span a website (andecha.org), Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter, Telegram, press conferences, and earned media.
