On April 21, the citizens of Alava (excepting Treviño), Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa will have to decide once again the composition of the Parliament of the Western Basque Country (Basque Autonomous Community). According to all polls, that parliament will have a large Basque nationalist majority (currently that majority is at 70%). It is foreseeable that the political forces in favor...
Last 6 December, the Spanish celebrated their customary Constitution Day. By contrast, this terrible date reminds us of our political subjugation. While some sectors and individuals of our nation worked that day, most Basque workers held the 6 December as a bank holiday, the first of a long weekend, the gateway to a leisurely parenthesis. We need our own...

Although in the Naziogintza Taldea group we had started a discussion on the position to adopt with regard to the Spanish elections, the...

Basque writer Pako Sudupe regrets in his interesting article that in the recent municipal elections Spanish political parties still use, for political purposes, the violence of ETA, when 12 years have passed since its disappearance.

In our article we answer some of the questions raised by Professor Zabalo in his press article.
