The Basque Country does not exist
In a continent like Europe , in which the boundaries have historically been related to geo-strategical and economical interests with no regard for the people's will, this supposed argument is just a lie. The Basque is the most ancient nation in Europe and it has the indisputable proof of a millenarian language, still used nowadays: the basque language (euskara). Nevertheless, the most important thing is that the Basque Country (Euskal Herria) exists because that is its citizens' will, that is how we feel, how we live.

The basque nationalism is a racist and excluding one
The Basque nationalism is an emancipating alternative. Because we love our land and freedom we can be internationalists, because we have identity we can respect other peoples' identity and be inclusive. To take part in the Basque national struggle implies solidarity with all the nations in the world under the rule of oppression.

Spanish and French nationalism does not exist
Madrid and Paris are centres of concentrated power which tries to impose a way of life to all the territory under their control, a language and an exceptional police-state under the appearance of a “democracy”. The old-time propaganda, the lies, antibasquism and extreme-right movements are the components of an agressive, irrational and potentially dangerous nationalism.

Nationalists support violence
Even though we are in the 21 st century Basque people keep suffering the violent actions and its terrible consequences. Against our indentity being stolen, the clear majority of citizens says NO to any kind of violence. We are not represented by the ones who take our names to pretend, nor by those who take violence as an excuse to deny the national and social rights of the Basque Country.

The Basques do not want independence
Every movement that claims independence or autonomous ways of government for the Basque Country insists on doing a referendum, whereas those who try to keep the status quo, do not want to. Are they maybe scared of the result?

The Basque Country, 7 provinces and 3 juridical contexts
Araba, Biscay, Gipuzkoa , Navarre , Lapurdi, Lower Navarre and Zuberoa are the territories that form the country of the Basques. Nowadays, the first three of them are inside the Basque Autonomous Community, and as it happens with the Foral Community of Navarre, its development and sovereignty are restricted by the Spanish Estate, under a limited autonomous régime. The situation in the norther part (Iparraldea) is a truly state of submission and humiliation by French centralism, and even though the majority of the people want to, there is no proper and common institution for the three provinces.

An small country in the world, opened for everyone
It could not be otherwise, a nation that saw how its children left to other parts of the world because of a fascist dictatorship is now a destination country, a place for multi-cultular encounter. Social exclussion, racism and xenophobia towards massive immigrations are the consequences of an unfair worldwide system: Capitalist globalisation and its disastrous development in the Basque Country by exogenous governments. Because another world is possible, let us make a country all of us, for everybody.

France and Spain putting under the Basque people (Whatever it takes)
In 1937 the town of Durango, and days later Gernika, were under attack of the Nazi aviation in a bombing over the civil population with no chance of defence, showing what the established Power dares to do against those who oppose injustice and claim for their rights as a nation. 70 years later the governments use the territorial and social division that the dictatorship and the war imposed, denying possibilities to democratic channels.

A future in peace, with no violence
Peace is a value in itself and the Basque people do not resign to not getting it. Peace, in addition, is not a simple “no war” state, is the consequence of concord, agreement, respect to the citizens' will, and mainly of social justice. Against torture, disappeared people, armies, armed forces and organizations, our non-violent will of being free.

Self-determination, people's voice
Yes, because it is our right. Those who try to suppress us as a nation and are against a democratic behaviour such as it is the free decision of people are the real antidemocrats. Against democracy they propose an unacceptable authoritarism. We say NO to imposition and YES to democracy: Our future is ours, we want to decide, we shall decide.
