Jura separatism

The seven Jura districts in Switzerland
The coat of arms of the canton of Jura is an irredentist design dating to 1943; it shows per pale the crozier of the historical coat of arms of the bishops of Basel, and seven stripes for the seven districts of the Jura region, including the four districts that still remain part of the Bernese Jura.

The "Jura question" (French: question jurassienne; German: Jurafrage) is the question of secession of the Jura region from Bern, implemented partially as three of seven districts formed the Canton of Jura in 1979, while the remaining four opted to remain with Bern.[1]
