	Behind the Elections in the Basque Country
		The other Basque nationalist formation is EH (Euskal Herritarrok—Popular Unity), set up in the summer of 1998 by Herri Batasuna, the political party commonly referred to by the Spanish State bourgeois press as the ‘political wing’ of ETA.
		In the light of the summer 1998 agreement it appears that Udalbiltza was intended to be a ‘parliament in waiting’ for Euskal Herria and that the conception of ETA amounted to the establishment, with the assistance of the nationalist parties, of a kind of ‘parliamentary dual power’.
		In agreement with the political and social forces with the same goal, on the road to the creation of that institutional structure, [the signatories of the accord] take on the compromise to make agreements, support and promote all the initiatives whose goal is to overcome the current institutional division and between the [two] states.

		Few Spaniards want him to share a table with the party that is widely regarded as the political face of ETA, Euskal Herritarrok, a party that distinguishes itself by resolutely refusing to condemn ETA's carnage.
		Euskal Herritarrok holds 14 seats in the regional Basque parliament, but no longer occupies them after falling out with the governing party — the PNV founded by Arana.
		This rift between Arana's successors, the nowadays more moderate nationalists of the PNV, and the extremist Euskal Herritarrok has left the region with a minority government incapable of passing any legislation.
