A clear proof if his emotional inestability is the fact that one or two years before his death, he tried to fight for the opposite of what he was fighting during great part of his life (which is a sign of a minimal sanity, but still a clear example of an inestable mind). He realized of all the harm he did to the Basque identity through the construction of such movement, and consequently wanted to counter its effects.
Well, this new initiative of Sabino Arana, now self-declared "Spanishist with all his soul", included the dissolution of the Basque Nationalist Party (the party he himself founded) and the foundation of another one, named "Liga de los vascos españolistas" (League of the Basque
Spanishists), of regionalist character and clearly inspired in the Catalan Regionalist League of Cambó (of well documented Spanishness).
Unfortunately, none of these projects was actually accomplished, as his most radicalized followers did not accept his change of opinion and attributed it to some kind of illness. On the other hand, his unexpected death in the following months did not help either. By the way, this phase in the life of Sabino Arana has always been silenced by the PNV, as it could very well raise some unconfortable self-questionings.
By the way, Lutiferre was asking for the respectability of Basque nationalism, right? Well, I sincerely hope to have helped him by explaining him a little bit of the life and psychological reality of its founder.
