Name change

In my opinion, the translation of "Primer Gobierno Patrio" to "First Patriotic Government" is incorrect.

  • "Patriotic" means "Patriota", not "Patrio" (in the sense of 'local', 'national', etc.)

I mean, though the Spanish expression may be amiguous, it is not at all the same to say "Primer gobierno patrio" than "Primer gobierno patriota". The latter, implies a policy oriented towards the nation, while the former only takes into account the origin or the original representation/constituency of the Government. For example: The first "Patriotic" Government could have been more than a century after the first "National" Government.

  • I propose chaging the name of the article to "First Autonomous/National Government", also implying both meanings, but underlying the "original constituency" more than the orientation of the policies. Salut, --IANVS (talk | cont) 21:33, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
