Basque Statute of Autonomy

The Basque Statute of Autonomy is a legal document that establishes the Basque Country's political and administrative independence within Spain. It defines the region's government powers, including areas like education, health, culture, and taxation, allowing the Basque government to manage its affairs differently from the national government. The statute recognizes the Basque Country as a historical nation with its own identity and legal framework, ensuring a degree of self-governance while remaining part of Spain. It was approved in 1979 and reflects the region's unique cultural and political status.
