		Even the nationalists themselves are split, a state of affairs that has forced the Basque regional president to call early elections, due to be held sometime this year.

		The nationalists keep thinking that the end of the ETA and the attainment of peace will arrive through the normalization of the historic Basque conflict — that is, their self-determination.

	Election of 30N - 35
		Parties borrow campaign funds prior to the elections, hoping for sufficient votes to recoup from the government a large portion of their expenditure.
		Basque nationalists on the other hand, believe that since the language has been discriminated against (indeed it was outlawed under the Franco regime) and since its use is now unequal to Spanish, it should receive special consideration and support.
		Within the framework of Basque nationalist politics, there was considerable risk in joining with the socialists, and it was evident that the PSOE would have to make major concessions to its coalition partner to enable Basque nationalists to accept and defend the pact.

	Basque nationalism undermined by ETA , by Barbara Loyer
		At the outset, Basque nationalism was thus a racist, extreme-Catholic, separatist doctrine that postulated the existence of an ethnic community distinct from the Spanish and French and portrayed the Basque problem as a conflict between nations.
		The refusal of part of the local society to subscribe to the idea of a Basque nation is as deeply rooted in history as nationalist ideology, and the most radical critique of that ideology has come from former adherents and their offspring.
		Nationalists are also faced with the difficult problem of integrating immigrants from other parts of Spain and those of their children who have not espoused the Basque cause.

	A balance sheet of the 13th May Basque elections In Defence of Democratic Rights
		The Basque elections of May 13th, 2001 have highlighted something is changing in the depths of society, both in the Basque Country and in the Spanish state as a whole, but which only occasionally comes to the surface.
		The Basque bourgeoisie has tried to play the part of the 'good cop', trying to win the more moderate elements away from the methods of ETA and to participate in a would-be 'Basque national construction' where, in reality, the only real winners are the Basque capitalists themselves.
		The Socialist Party, led by Felipe Gonzalez, was in power for fourteen years and, instead of leading the working class in the struggle to transform society, based themselves on the most reactionary sections of the army and Civil Guard to 'solve' the national question.

		In 1936 the Basque Autonomous Government (whose Lehendakari —president— was José Antonio Agirre) was created, with representation of all the democratic parties, and the Ikurriña was declared by law the Basque flag.
		The Ikurriña is the symbol of the Basques of Euskadi (under Spanish rule), Iparralde (under French rule), Navarre (under Spanish-French rule) and foreign residents in America, Europe and Australia (the Ikurriña is in the flag of Saint Pierre and Miquelon).
		The ikurriña was designed by the Biscay brothers Sabino and Luis Arana for the province of Biscay, and it derives from the Biscay coat-of-arms (the red field is from the ancient Biscay flag, the white cross from the argent cross of the coat-of-arms [which shows behind the tree] and the green saltire from the tree).

	Buber's Basque Page: Aberri Eguna
		In those early years of the movement, to be Basque meant being catholic and regaining the fueros or old laws and the privileges that the southern Basques had lost in the Carlist wars of the 19th century.
		This fusion of Basque consciousness and religion is clearly outlined in the schedule for one of the last celebrations of that decade.
		Basque nationalists surprised Spanish Authorities with a secret Aberri Eguna celebration in Gernika in 1964.During the Franco era Spanish Authorities labored to halt these "illegal" celebrations of Basque culture.

		In addition to the new newspaper Basque nationalists have indicated that they will not be cowed by the decision of the Spanish government to ban their political party a move which has at a stroke disenfranchised a large percentage of the population of the Basque country.
		Nor does the Basque national movement seem swayed by the ill-judged decision of the US government to target Basque nationalist parties in a move which is clearly a message of support for the Aznar government which along with the UK was a puppet in their Iraq policy.
		Basques living in Scotland however must also have been horrified to see Scottish newspapers pin the blame to all Basque nationalists without any evidence whatsoever.

	The Case of Herri Batasuna: Spain's Political Show Trial
		Basques speak a language (Euskara) which is linguistically unrelated to any other in the world, and they have survived attacks throughout history by the Romans, as well as by Spanish feudal rulers.
		This party was the party of both left and right Basque nationalists until 1931, when the right of the party decided to compromise with the Spanish Republican government by making pacts with the Spanish state in an attempt to prevent the radicalisation of the nationalist cause by the socialist left.
		All Basque parties, across the spectrum from left to right, including those who condemn Herri Batasuna as the political wing of ETA, have raised their voices in opposition to this trial, which they understand is another historical attack on Basque political expression.

		Both parties have been frequently targeted by ETA gunmen, and hundreds of party members and relatives employ bodyguards and vary their daily routines to avoid being easy targets.
		Basques have their own parliament, police force and health system, but the federal government in Madrid controls the security forces, foreign policy, border crossings and air and sea ports.

		Despite their bitter differences, as recently as three years ago the Popular Party and the Socialist Party combined their forces in an unsuccessful effort in the Basque regional elections to avoid victory by the moderate Basque Nationalist Party.
		Zapatero recently invited Juan Jose Ibarretxe, the leader of the Basque Nationalist Party, to Madrid, along with the presidents of other regional governments, to discuss measures that would give the regions a more powerful independent voice, even the right to talk directly to the Brussels headquarters of the European Union about issues that concern them.
