hierarchical_section_title: List of active separatist movements in Europe / France
context_page_description: This is a list of currently active separatist movements in Europe. Separatism often refers to full political secession, though separatist movements may seek nothing more than greater autonomy or to be recognised as a national minority.
  What is and is not considered an autonomist or secessionist movement is sometimes contentious. Entries on this list must meet three criteria:
  They are active movements with active members;
  They are seeking greater autonomy or self-determination for a geographic region;
  They are citizens/peoples of the conflict area and do not come from another country.
  Under each region listed is one or more of the following:
  De facto state: for unrecognized regions with de facto autonomy;
  Proposed state: proposed name for a seceding sovereign state;
  Proposed autonomous area: for movements towards greater autonomy for an area but not outright secession;
  De facto autonomous government: for governments with de facto autonomous control over a region;
  Government-in-exile: for a government based outside of the region in question, with or without control;
  Political party: for political parties involved in a political system to push for autonomy or secession;
