Basque National Party

The Basque National Party (PNV) is a political organization in the Basque Country, a region in northern Spain and southwestern France, advocating for Basque cultural identity and greater autonomy or independence. Founded in 1895, it promotes regional self-governance, preservation of Basque language and traditions, and economic development. While primarily a democratic party, its goals focus on strengthening Basque institutions within Spain and France. PNV has played a significant role in regional politics, often participating in government coalitions, and aims to balance regional interests with broader national and European integration.
