I think this remark is interesting though. I respect that most Spaniards here are against Basque independence

You are dealing here with a post-romanticist degeneration of the struggle of the Basques (and of all other Spanish peoples) for their Old Charters of Laws and Freedoms. Not with any nationalism.
Nothing to be respected there.
