Basque conflict

The Basque conflict involves ongoing tensions between Basque nationalists seeking independence or greater autonomy and the Spanish government, which considers the region an integral part of Spain. This tension has historically led to violent conflict, most notably by the separatist organization ETA, which used violence to push for independence. Over time, efforts for dialogue and political solutions have reduced violence, but the desire for greater Basque self-determination remains a sensitive and complex issue within Spain’s political landscape.
