Dear colleagues,
About a couple of weeks ago I heard a very curious story in the news
over the radio (in a national one). A very small village on the French
Pyrenees has written several letters, one to the French President,
another to the Spanish one, and a third one to the President of the
Autonomous Community of Aragon (Spain). The main reason for this letter
was to request the French Government to allow them to belong to Spain
instead of France, due to the fact that they feel more Aragonese and
would like to return to their previous position, before the Treaty of
the Pyrenees in 1654. The name of the village was not very clear when
they said it, but it sounded something like "Ain" or "Ailin".
Has anybody heard anything on this? I would also like to know of any
previous situation similar to this. Does anybody know?
Sincerely,
Deborah
