Their main target is to establish up a new region in Spain besides Catalonia with some districts ("Comarcas" or "Comarques") from the provinces of Barcelona and Tarragona.

paragraphs: The fact that Tabarnians are asking to be separated from the Catalonia that wants to be separated from Spain, has been interpreted by some newspapers as a reductio ad absurdum of the nationalistic logic in a XXI century Europe. Many Tabarnians believe that a sustained international media attention to this movement would defeat the catalan independence project by simply following their own arguments instead of opposing them.
