Abertzale Left

Abertzale Left is a Basque political movement advocating for greater autonomy or independence for the Basque Country, a region spanning parts of northern Spain and southwestern France. It combines progressive social policies with a desire to preserve Basque language, culture, and identity. While initially associated with Basque nationalist groups, many within Abertzale Left prioritize peaceful political efforts, such as voting and activism, over violence. The movement seeks self-determination and increased cultural recognition, emphasizing social justice, bilingualism, and local empowerment, reflecting a complex blend of national pride and progressive ideals.
