Re: Basque Separatism
As far as I could understand, there are two political conceptions here battling each other: on the one side there is the conception of the Spanish unitary Jacobinist state; on the other side, a separatist movement seeking to detach the autonomous province of the Basque Country (possibly along with Navarra) from the rest of Spain and create an independent Jacobinist state of its own.
From what I could understand, most of the Spanish members of this forum reject both of these two political conceptions and advocate something like the return to the Ancien Régime of (the) Spain(s), with regional autonomies and diversities (including that of language) preserved and fostered, but with the unity of Spain(s) as nation unquestioned.
My question is: is there any political movement which would advocate that? Is there a significant number of people in Spain who would favour a return to foralismo, to the old, pre-Jacobine ways?
