Towards a federal reform of the Constitution

Abstract

In this article the author reflects about the most suitable territorial model for Spain and it is proposed to adopt a federal system as a deepening in the experiences of the autonomous State. Starting from the rich Spanish diversity, and under the premises of federalism as a reinforcement of democratic pluralism, the evolution of the autonomic process initiated under the normative framework of Title VIII is observed. Witnessed the need for its updating and addressing the serious territorial problems facing Spain, the author concludes with the need for an egalitarian federalism through a constitutional reform that leaves evidence of the evolution of the autonomous state.
