Basque Nationalist Party

The Basque Nationalist Party (PNV) is a political organization that seeks to promote the cultural identity, language, and economic interests of the Basque people in northern Spain and southwestern France. Founded in 1895, it advocates for greater autonomy or independence for the Basque Country while often supporting moderate political policies. The party emphasizes preserving Basque traditions and language, and it plays a significant role in regional governance. PNV combines nationalist aspirations with pragmatic politics, working within the Spanish political system to advance the interests and self-determination of the Basque community.
