Movimento São Paulo Independente is a separatist movement that advocates for the independence of the state of São Paulo from Brazil. Founded in 1992, the movement claims that the state's potential is hindered by the federal government and that São Paulo would be better off as an autonomous country or independent state.[1] The group asserts that São Paulo's unique cultural and economic identity justifies its sovereignty.[2]
