Born in 1993 from the coming-together of several Canarian parties, it has grown into the leading voice of the archipelago, rooted in a single conviction: that the Canary Islands, an Atlantic nation far from mainland Europe, deserve to decide their own future while playing a full and constructive role within the European Union. At the heart of CC's project lies the **defence of Canarian self-government** and of the islands' distinct identity, history and interests. As the party of an outermost region of the European Union, it gives particular attention to the **challenges of insularity and remoteness** — from territorial cohesion and economic development to the management of migration on Europe's southern frontier — and works to ensure that the voice of the periphery is heard at the centre of European decision-making. Within the European Democratic Party, which it joined in 2016, Coalición Canaria embodies a conviction at the core of the EDP's vision: that a strong Europe and strong territories are not rivals but allies, and that Europe's outermost regions are not its margins, but part of its strength. ## Members
