Séparatismes

Séparatismes refer to movements or tendencies within a country where certain groups seek to establish independence or greater autonomy based on cultural, linguistic, religious, or historical differences. These pursuits can challenge national unity, leading to political tensions or conflicts. The term often appears in contexts where regions or communities feel distinct from the national identity and aim to assert their self-governance. Governments typically address separatism through legal, political, or social means to maintain national stability, while respecting regional identities and rights.
