Basque independence

Basque Independence refers to the movement advocating for the Basque Country, a region in northern Spain and southwestern France, to gain political independence or greater autonomy. The Basque people have a distinct language and culture, and many seek to assert their identity and self-determination. This movement has historical roots, with varying degrees of support among the population. Some advocate for peaceful political means, while others, like the former armed group ETA (now disbanded), resorted to violence. The issue is complex, involving cultural, economic, and political factors, reflecting broader themes of nationalism and regional identity.
