Correction in the incorrect statement: A) The modern Basque Nationalist Movement started around the end of the NINETEENTH, not the twentieth century.
The modern Basque Nationalist Movement started when, around the end of the NINETEENTH century, the Spanish rulers tried to abolish this unique political-administrative arrangement. In the twentieth century, the Spanish dictator Franco further cut down this autonomy. He went as far as to ban the use of Basque language in public places and even homes. These repressive measures have now been withdrawn. But the leaders of Basque movement continue to be suspicious of the motives of the Spanish government and fearful of the entry of ‘outsiders’ in their region. Their opponents say that Basque separatists are trying to make political gains out of an issue already resolved. |
