As things stand now, the trend is towards more autonomy. However, it all depends on the policies adopted by the central government. In 2001, José María Aznar's neo-conservative government 'imported' the US-led 'war on terror' into Spain. Then, public opinion radicalized and centre-periphery relations became more polarized. In this atmosphere, pro-independence parties, notably the Republican Left of Catalonia ( Catalan: Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya, ERC) , gained unprecedented popularity.
