  • FREEDOM FOR THE BASQUE PEOPLE

  • Vascongadas o el Señorio de Vizcaya o como quiera llamársele NUNCA fue independiente, siempre tuvo cierta autonomia pero dentro de los límites de Castilla, por extensión España. Asi que el etarra hijo de puta este no venga a contar la mierda que le han enseñado en sus putas escuelas donde falsean la historia.

    VIVA EL REY Y VIVA ESPAÑA

  • to hell with spain, give the basques their country!

  • @cuzcatlan36

    STUPID

  • when I said them kill people, I allways mean ETA kill people. They are terrorist, that's it. Not the basque people.

    By the way, some of my best friend are basque!

    ETA is just terrorims and mafia.

  • @eliogq such as IRA? The irish republican army was exactly the same and I'm sure you don't think the same about them. Why? Because lot of false things are said about us, the basques, and it's normal for you to take them as if they were truth. That's the problem. They put people against us!! Like you!!

  • @Gartzens Well actually as an Irish person, I don't condone violence and don't support the IRA or ETA. Yes the early IRA, known as the United Irishmen attacked British forces but when the group started hurting civilians, no more support for them! And also most Irish people want to move on and live peacefully. We want a United Ireland yes but if violence comes into that equation then it can stay separate. Basques are nice people. Éire go brách faoi shíocháin (Ireland forever at peace) :)

  • @GaeilgeSpraoi we are a other culture we have a diferent language!

  • @nunositovich Well I know that, I study in Bilbao! That's not my point. My point is that the Irish struggle has parallels with that of the Basque and ETA and the IRA had/have links. One can be nationalist without supporting violence!

  • @nunositovich Well I know that! But their are parallels and some historical ties. For example, it's known that the Laurburu is originally a Celtic symbol. Both are beautiful and unique places! :)

  • @GaeilgeSpraoi what do you think about basque independece? or catalan

  • @breizhcatalonia1993 Hey, good question! Well I think the Basques and Catalans should have the right to decide their future in a democratic way though it's not an easy situation. With the Basque Country, a part is in France and many people there don't feel as strongly about independence and don't seem to mind being French. Also the historical part in Spain is divided between Navarra much of which identifies as Spanish and the basque Autonomous Community. I don't know much about Catalonia though.

  • @Gartzens "Exactly the same".... That is ridiculous...

    1There's never been a war between the basque coutry and Spain nor any military occupation. 2The basque are some of the richest people in Spain unlike northern irish in the UK. 3The basque don't want to join an existing country.

    4No iberian nation has ever attacked the basque ever in history,.Kingdoms united in a peaceful way.

    5Only ETA assassinates, there's not any paralimitary movement oposing.

    Please... don't try to fool foreigners...

  • Si si... es super izquierdista imponer ideas a bombazos y amenazas... Asi mismo empezo Adolfito Hitler a trepar en el Govierno... con sus matones camorristas... Eso es libertad, si señor! Sigan asi muchachos!

  • @SrNutritivo libertad es luchar por tus ideas i ver reconocidos tus derechos, españa se pasa por el forro la autodeterminación

  • asesino

  • do not forget that they are terrorist, they kill people, they put boms in airport and public areas just to kill spanish citizens. So, are you still asking why the police is behing you? I've been living in the Basque country and in Spain for a while, and I know what I am talking about.

  • @eliogq i am very proud of my basque heritage. the actions of few should not stereotype the people as a whole. every nation has its extremists. my basque family is, one of the kindest, most loving and friendly one could ever find. i guarantee this. i hope you know when you say "they kill people" you, if inadvertently, are implying that i am a killer, as well as my family. i do not appreciate this, and hope you would think again the next time you call someone a terrorist.

  • EVERY COUNTRY SHD HAVE THEIR PRIVELEDGE TO BE AUTOMONOUS! (YOU SHD HAVE READ WHAT I THOUGHT BEFORE) THAT'S THE BASQUE IN ME! I WISH I KNEW MORE ABOUT MY HERITAGE!

  • To be more accurate they are not pre-historic but rather pre Indo-European.

  • hahaha, wow you are a moron. they are a prehistoric race "dumbass".

  • what a boring history basques have. they don't descend from anyone or anything cool. who the hell would have pride in descending from neanderthals.

  • @ronnoc1990 There desents from Romans dumbass a race of warriors.

  • Why does this man appear to be humming in between words? Is that a BAsque thing?

  • @Gulfporter He was probably speaking lazily. Like English speakers who aren't' sure what they're about to say next and just use 'ummmmm' or 'uhh....' as fillers.

  • @xxaos tan claro no lo tendrán los del PP y PSOE cuando tienen que manipular las leyes para que el 18% de la población quede fuera del parlamento vasco y así los españolistas tengan mayoría absoluta y se acaben las derivas soberanistas como las llaman! xDD Y luego van por la vida de demócratas!!! Claro, vosotros sois super comospolitas y nosotros aldeanos jajaja Cuando os vais a dar cuenta que no queremos ser españoles porque vuestro país lo encontramos cutre...xDDD

  • @xxaos si nos queremos independizar es para vivir mejor no para morirnos de hambre! jajaja Queremos tener el control de todo para gestionar mejor desde aquí la cosas, porque los políticos españoles están demasiado ocupados llenándose los bolsillos para preocuparse de los problemas de los vascos.

  • @ProudConfederateMan The most of settles and soldiers in america were Basques you, renegade indian!! hahahahaha

  • Never Never Never!!!! Support SPAIN, Never support Basque!!!!

  • The gobernement of the basques isnt independent. The most of Basques dont want ETA and dont want the independence.

    Without basques, Spain dont have sense,...learn history,...Basques are as spaniards as castillians,catalans,andalusia­ns,......

    Spain is a united kingdom with more than 4 diferents cultures and languages,...

    And Spain is a wonderful country :)

  • @Souliban Spain wonderful country? if a country needs to force people to be Spaniards something is wrong in that "worderful" country. Spain, was the expansionist dream of the Kingdom of Castile. Spain was built by conquests and marriages joining very diferent countries that have no relation. When we have had a few of democracy the problems of that artificial country has arised. Spain will disappear like all the ancient empires.

  • @israeldar Spain=UK. Castille kingdom expansionism inside Spain born with Philip V. Spain is more than CAstille. Dont mix castillian fascist, with spanish. A truelly spanish patriot respect all the cultures inside spain. Basques and catalans fascist and most of the independentist people mix castillian fascist with spaniard, thats a big mistakes, as Castillian fascist mix Basques with Terrorist or Catalans with independentistThe gobernement in both territories are not independentist

  • @israeldar And yes, Spain is a wonderful country with bad politics, and today there are more fascist people in the Basque country and CAtalonia than the both Castilles together,.. And i repeat, we are very, very, lucky to live in Spain, ...Goog weather, awesome gastronomy, awesome cultures, 2nd country with most UNESCO places, Socialism sistem, GOOD and friendly and close people in general,......Only a hater could think in other side,.....

  • @Souliban heater not, realist! you live in the moon! There's a national problem in Catalonia with the "Estatut", there's another national problem in the Basque Country... Spain is breaking because Spanish politicians are trying to force people to be Spanish, to learn Spanish language, we have our own language, culture and nation, we don't feel Spanish and we want to be free.

  • @israeldar YOU live on the moon! I live in a place inside Spain with a diferent culture and language than Basque and Castillian, and nobody force us to speak Castillian(spanish) in fact, you need to learn our language to work for public jobs. The most voted politic groups in Catalonia, CiU and PSC, ARE NOT independentist,..The independentist population is a minority in both places. Spain is a State with more than 4 diferent cultures and languages ,...not ONLY BASques,......

  • @israeldar Dont lie yourself. The most of independentist people in spain are secatary and sociopath people,...Who acts like Fascist,..Spain= nation of nations,....this country was made by diferent cultures and languages, not only the Basques have their own culture and language,...

    YOUTUBE : " España CAMPEONA del MUNDO en BARCELONA; El sueño de una noche de verano se cumplió "

    Fascist and haters,...go out of SPAIN

    The most of the spaniards respect all our cultures . Cheers

  • @Souliban PP and PSOE with the excuse of terrorism manipulate laws to get the major in the Basque parliament, this way there's an artifitial majority of pro-Spaniards when the most of the Basque population don't feel Spanish. It's a shame for the democracy! Spain cannot be inside the European Union!

  • @israeldar YOU are the fascist!! Everybody can see it

  • freedom for the bask country! Spaniards go home.

  • @israeldar PSOE and PP are goberning the Basque Country, SO the most of the basques feel themselves spanairds, ...Dont lie yourself again,....Only the politic group who were relationaded with the killers of ETA were forbidden,.... Thats it

  • @Souliban I repeat again, by the excuse of terrorism PP and PSOE have manipulated laws and this way the 20% of the Basque population can not go to the polls to vote their party, and this way the pro-Spaniards, most of them Spanish inmigrants and their sons are the majority of the Basque parliament. This way Basque parliament cannot make pro-independence laws... That's a shame for the European Union!!!

  • @israeldar HA HA ,... you are sick,...have you see the most of the ETA members surnames?? YES , Castillian surnames, and most of them with andalusian lookslike. PP + PSOE are goberning the Basque Country cause they have the most of the votes of the population, Dont lie yourself again,...Basque Country is as spanish as Castilla, VAlencia, Andalusia, Catalonia,.......Independentis­t= Sectary and Sociopath people,...the truely fascists ones at nowdays

  • @israeldar Example of some ETA members: Imanol Miner Villanueva (capturado), Ainhoa García Montero (capturada) Iñigo Vallejo Franco (capturado) Nerea Garaizar (capturada) Raúl A. Fuentes Villo Juan Fernández Iradi (capturado) Javier Abaunza Martínez (capturado) Gorka Palacios Alday (capturado) Juan Luis Rubenach (capturado) Josu Ordóñez (capturado) Alberto Rey Gracia Morcillo Torres And thats only an example,...... HA HA
  • @israeldar " Iñigo Vallejo FRANCO" ??? What?? A granson of Francisco Franco memeber of ETA?? Oh my god im so confuse,...you said the pro-spaniards are sons of spanish people and the most of the ETA memebers have spanish surnames , not basques,.....even the grandson of Francisco Franco is playing with bombs,...

    Tee Hee

  • @israeldar

    Well, if passing a new Political Parties Act in 2002 to avoid public money ending up in the hands of ETA's political branch, Herri Batasuna is a "manipulation of the law" then you know nothing about democracy and the way it works. For decades the political branch of ETA has been represented in both the Basque and the central parliaments, their elected representatives were paid public money that was used by ETA in its campaign of terror. Democracy is not about killing people

  • @antippasti never has been proved that Herri Batasuna's money was used by ETA, never. Spanish judges with very questionable arguments have "proved" that ETA and Herri Batasuna is the same, in order to make illegal this party and this way the pro-Spaniards are in the majority in the Basque Parliament. The pro-Spaniards are governing in an antidemocratic way this side of the Basque Country against the will of the people.

  • FREEDOM! LBERTAD! ASKATASUN!

  • God bless basques our brothers from Georgia

  • GORA EUSKAL HERRIA ASKATUTA!

    agur bat from Rio Grande do Sul!

    same struggle.

  • Spain and France are hardly going to hand over part of their country to the basques. You are living in a dream world, it is never going to happen no matter what violence is used.

  • @separatesix

    If talks don't work what do you expect them to do?

  • thanks my friend, together we are going to have our own country

  • good luck with independence basque people. much love from your brothers in Scotland

  • i hate first world separatist they are separatist to be hip not for "freedom" that they already have

  • xD, como se nota que la lengua materna del tío ese es el castellano

  • eeeeee eeeeee eeeeeee... o eso o esq tiene una muletilla muy chunga

  • Masculote:

    Don't cheat, please! If the the two spanish nationalist reach the Basque Government is 'cos a political option was put out of law. Remember: even the votes were null, they got 100.000 of them. So they don't represent the majority. And don't tell me tales about that party was supporter of ETA; they are people and they count.

  • they are people but don't count because they do not play fair, and why you assume all nule votes were for the terrorist? in democracy you must play by the rules or you are out of the game, and that is what happened, and let me put my gun to your head and see how quickly you agree with me. This has been democracy in the basque country.

  • FREEDOM FOR THE BASQUE COUNTRY!

  • Mascoute, what are you talking about?!

    I dont think you hava lived this process you are explaining here, basicaly because it was not like that. The basque language is as strong as it is becouse the basque society made and is making a huge effort, not the spanish government. It is slill dificoult for basque speakers in navarra, for example, where the government there is always doing his best against basque languaje.

    Is nice o talk about the subjet, but please, inform yousselve before.

    Xabi,

  • @kenyedig Son you are only 22, what have you lived about this subject, I am talking about what i have lived, the basque language was prohibited during the dictatorship of Franco, & therefore it was almost dead, the only people that used to use the Euskara, was rural people in small villages lost in the mountains, ppl in cities like your friend in Bilbao, if they speak Euskara, is because they learned it in schools, just like I learned English. And do not be foolished by who tell you different.

  • masculote: Your response to "kenyedig" may be all true based upon your experiences, but many Basques have learned their ancient language (or a composite of various forms of it) in an attempt to restore its usage as a matter of "ethnic" pride; a language which is spoken is not dead. Also, it is not only rural people who use the language. May we agree that the dominant culture and language seek to minimize, if not eliminate the Basque identity? As with Franco, no Euskara, no Euskadi.

  • Thomas, I said the language was "almost" dead, since the ikastolas or basque school were declared illegal during the spanish civil war, only few kept teaching Euskara secretly during Franco's dictatorship. In 1980 after democracy was restored, ikastolas were legalized and that gave a great impulse to the learning of basque language. Even nowadays, not even 50% of basques consider themseves to be fluent in Euskara. I do not believe ppl in spain is against the Euskara or the basque identity, +

  • We are against separatism and the partition of our country into pieces just because a minority wants to create a Trostkist island in northern Spain. We are proud of our diversity and want to keep it that way, a diverse Spain. In a democracy the majority rules, yet minorities are heard, just look at our complicated vote counting system, where a national party w/ 1million votes (IU) gets 2 diputies in parlament while PNV has 6 with only 306.000, but most the votes from a small geografical area.

  • Comment removed

  • I haven't got a side in this dispute. But I think that the violence employed by ETA is only counterproductive. It is also true that the Basque people and their language have, at various times (especially under Franco) been unjustly suppressed.They are an ancient people whose culture and language should be continued.Having friends in Bilbao, I know that most Basques and Castilians seem to coexist amicably. Perhaps a Basque region having some autonomy within Espana..and no violence?

  • Thomas, thank you for your understanding on this issue, let me just clarify, the basque country has an autonomous government since democracy was re-stablished in Spain, their language, ancient as you say, was almost dead by the time Franco died, yet the democratic government of Spain, brought it up from its ashes by teaching it in public schools, today you can choose the language you want to study in the schools between, only in basque, only in castillian , or in both . Here is not a need 4 ETA

  • Comment removed

  • masculote: My understanding is that a recent election was won by a Basque politician who wishes to eliminate Basque-only schools and wants to reduce the usage of the Euskadi language, much to the disappointment of many of his fellow euskaduni (a). As for the ETA, that is a matter for the Basque people to deal with.

  • In recent elections, the two biggest non nationalist political parties, created a non nationalist coalition that represents the majority of basques, they are not against Euskara, they are basques themseves, they are for the unity of Spain, they want the Spanish flag next to the ikurriña as in any other part of Spain and for a normalization of Basque-Spanish relations. I think you are wrong if you think ETA is a "basque only" problem, as they murder peoples from all over Spain.

  • masculote: I don't disagree. A good solution would be one which accepts and recognizes the Basque identity and language while including the Basque homeland as one of several diverse groups within Espana; Spain with never allow separation, so violence is an ineffective and destructive strategy. The ETA is born and sustained within the Basque community, so, in that sense, the solution is in the Basque community. When the ETA acts criminally, then it should become everyone's concern.

  • We would be more than happy if the radicals were thinking like you. The disappearance of ETA, will definitely help to advance in the political normalization of Spain. I agree, our democracy might not be perfect, but it is up to all of us Spaniards to improve to the benefit of everyone. Yet, unfortunately, that seems not to be enough for radicals. We keep saying " to recognize Basque language and culture", but I think it is done already,. I do not know what else needs to be done, (more)

  • the Spanish central government has reconized studies done in ikastolas, the basque community has two official languages, Basque and Castillian, they have their autonomous government, their own TV channels, their sports, festivities etc. What part of their culture is still prohibited or unrecognized? I think this is just a cliché used by the nationalists.

  • @masculote

    The part where they have their own, independent state.

  • But they already have it, it is called Spain. It is the country of the basques as always has been.

  • Al dabie euskal herridxe mapatatik kendu, al dabie euskerie jipoitu, al dabie gure herridxe mile bidar zapaldu, baie ez da jeusiko euskal herridxe, euskaldun bet zutunik dauen bitartien.

  • @Unila100 perdona, lo podías poner en castellano, por favor. Sk soy catalán y no he entendido nada lo k has dicho. Si us plau, és solament per donar una contestació coherent.

  • @Unila100 que euskera mas raro... hau da euskaraz batua?

  • keep up your fight for independence and never give up, it is your right and your right alone to self-determination. best wishes from your brothers in Scotland. one day we will both be free x

  • No the basque belong to Spain.

  • GORA EUSKADI,, XIEMPRE N ESPAÑA!!

  • Yes to Basque Independence!

  • Basque and Scottish Solidarity. Our time will come.

  • Ces gens là, sont en train de préparer le lit de la désolation européenne, en morcelant les pays en confettis, les laissant isolés, les uns des autres, en affaiblissant chaque commaunauté. De fait, toutes ces petites nations qui se réclament de l'indépendance, seront celles qui demain, ramèneront la guerre sur le territoire européen!

  • le problème se pose des deux cotés. La France ne fait rien pour protéger ou entretenir ses cultures locales. La plupart des Français pensent que la France est uniculturelle depuis toujours, mais c'est faux. La France est un Etat multiculturel et aurait du partir de ces bases pour avancer plutot que d'imposer la culture d'ile de France comme unique repère pour tout le monde.

    On récolte ce que l'on sème.

    Ceci dit, je parle gascon, l'enseigne à mes enfants, me sens bigourdan et FRANCAIS.

  • Il n'est pas incompatible de se sentir proche de ses racines, de vouloir partager sa culture et de la faire vivre et de se sentir français en même temps.

    Nous demandons juste de la reconnaissance de la part de l'état. Quand ce sera le cas, une partie des tensions retombera.

  • Bien sûr qu'il n'est pas incompatible de se sentir Français et Basque, Français et Corse, Français et Breton, etc; Seulement, par exemple, je ne comprends plus les revendications catalanes et basques en Espagne, alors que ces régions ont des prérogatives très étendues bien plus même que dans des länder allemands, et qu'ils vivent dans une démocratie solide défendue par un Roi acquis à sa cause ! C'est à ce niveau que je trouve que c'est dangereux !

  • Alors oui, aux vraies valeurs qui ont fait la France à travers toutes ses cuktures, oui à la décentralisation, et aux pouvoirs étendus à chaque région, mais non au dépeçage de la France qu n'apporterait que pauvreté, guerres tribales, et fragilité face à de nouveaux envahisseurs qui ne nous veulent pas que du bien ! L'union fait la force !

  • Bjr Ashura78 Mais si je réagis comme ça c'est justement parceque je trouve la centralisation destructrice des valeurs multicuturelles qui ont fait la France! C'est aussi la raison pour laquelle je suis un fervent royaliste, car sous les rois, la France était unie sous le drapeau royal, tout en conservant ses particularismes et sa culture à chaque région! La centralisation actuelle sur le plan culturel est due à la république!

  • Very good clip -- it should be shown on Spanish tv to show the Spanish nation what their government is doing to the Basque Country.

    The situation is really one of political and social apartheid, and the perpetrators of state terrorism mask themselves as victims and upholders of democratic freedoms.

  • right coming from a gibraltarian in spanish land and territory. You should keep quiet considering your position in the peninsula. If you wish secession, leave Spain.

  • we aren't in Spain though....

  • you are in what is known, according to law Spain. Basque have unique dna and will not be spanish, but will never remove our territorial borders. Leave.

  • The Basques were around thousands of years before the Castillians and Moores and all that. It's our land. You leave.

  • spiky hairy bastard, your second to none if your willing to play your cards on who is gonna stay or not in Spain. No chance. Get out and take your pills malekicona.

  • Aide zu popatik artzera! Eta eskatu zeure lagun bat esateko hau zer nahi dau esati! Erdaldune, kanpotarra, zeu nahizune zas, baina ez zaigu hilko euskal herria ni bizi naizen artean.

  • basques are armeniansss

  • Huns (Anglo Saxons) are Semites from the Crimean Peninsular, the Armenians come from the Basques not the other way around. Welsh and Irish people come from the Basques, Indigenous Europe comes from the Basque people not the Huns.

  • Galicians speak a dialect of Portuguese,

    que mal andamos eh Popotao. El gallego no es dialecto de nadie.

  • The Basque speak Basque,

    Galicians speak a dialect of Portuguese,

    Algarvians speak Portuguese just like Oliventines.

    No need to say more...

  • Um, no, Gallego is NOT a dialect of Portugues. Portugues,Castillian (what the world calls Spanish)Catalan, and its variants (mallorcan,and Valenciano) Aragonese are all Romance languages dirived from Latin.Basque is a langage with no connection to Latin or any other indo-European language and is simply an isolate, which has no mother language.

    Portugal is only an independant country because the kingdom did not get absorbed into the Catillian fold,so it can not be called the root of anything.

  • Alright, already finished your pretense "Linguistics class", yankee boy!?

    C'mon! Please, keep it on!

    Your melting pot of obviousness, mistakes and blabbering was so funny!

    I almost wet myself! XD

  • Sorry you got schooled on your history and language by a yankee boy, but that's life. You spoke as an authority and I showed you how stupid you are. Read a fucking book, I recommend The Story of Spain by Mark Williams, another yankee boy.

    And melting pot of obviousness? What the shit are you even talking about? Leanr to compose a proper sentence and we'll talk.

    Y si, soy Americano pero de Sangre Puerto Riqueña y Cubana.  Eso quiere decir que si teng sangre Española.

  • Alright, alright...We talk later!

  • If you really wanna learn something, don't be mad at my appearent arrogance and I'll teach a lil' bit about Latino-Iberian Romances later...

    Right now I need serious sleep.

  • Then sleep, i honestly know more about Romance languages than you could ever hope to understand. I may be a yankee twice removed from Spain, but my degree in history taught me a lot.

    Put it this way, I've forgotten more about this stuff than you'll ever know.

  • I'm sorry, but you simply cannot know more about Portugalician (or Portuguese, if you prefer) language than somebody like me, an intelligent literate person immersed in that culture since childhood...

    WTF, I THINK in this language!!

    I don't want your approval nor have I anything to prove you!

    But don't take me wrong!

    Just lay your ego down and open up your mind. Then, we'll talk...

    But, for now, give me a break, ok?

  • You can think in that language, dream in it, know it love it and be it, but you're still wrong. Galician and portugues come from the same source, that being the vernacular latin (not to be confused with the written formal latin) Galician nd Portuguese are VERY much alike, but to say galician COMES from portuguese or is a dialect of it is just wrong.

  • I've sent you a more detailed message

  • Yes, i recieved it and I must say, it was well written (bravo, since English isn't your first language) and it was quite informative, ie it gave many details that filled in the broad strokes of knowledge I've recieved from books. Basically we agree. The languages are basically the samemuch like Mallorcan and Valenciano are basically the same, also your example of Brazilian Portugues and Prper portuguese was a nice touch.

  • hijo puta,te estaras riendo por que han matao a dos guardias civiles,creo que es hora de dejarse de manifestacines y actuar en serio contra estos cabrones.pena de muerte ya

  • Death to AsSpain!

    Free Basque Country!

    Free Catalonia!

    Galicia is Portugal!

    Olivença is Portuguese!

  • fucking speak spainsh you little hill rat!!

  • Somos todos irmãos. Mas que cada um tenha o seu tecto!

  • algarve is spain¡¡

  • siempre están con la benetako demokrazia (verdadera democracia) en la boca. Pues yo no quiero su democracia, pues la suya es matar por la espalda, quemarte el coche si opinas diferente a ellos. Son basura, y el lugar de la basura es el vertedero.

  • best of wishes may the basque people and the catalans break free and become indpendent states from spain

  • My wishes are that those people end in prison, because they are murderes. Basque Country wont be free until ETA and the ones who support them disappear. I am basque and I hate violence and those fucking murderers.

  • independencia per el pais vasc, pero no estic d'acord amb que els exetarres o activistes d'Eta es puguin considerar refugiats politics. Independencia si, pero sense violencia!

  • Si a ta mare l'haguesin violat amb un pistola carregada, el teu germà estigues a la presón per ser mebre d'una organització juvenil o al teu pare l'hagues matat el GAL simplement per ser cocejal...pensaries ben diferent.

    El conflicte de EH no passa ni per dir que la violència es bona o dolenta, és molt més dificil. .

    Aquesta gent són un exemple de lluita i dignitat. I fart de vilència ja estan farts també.

    GORA EUSKAL HERRIA ASKATU TA!

    VISCA LA TERRA LLIURE!

  • encara aixi el poble no en te la culpa del que l'hagin fet a la teva familia, va tenir la culpa tota l egent que va morir al atempta d'Ipercor a barcelona???. la mayoria d'etarras actuals tenen a tota la seva familia vivita y colenado y no pasan del 30 anys... Com he dit abans, independencia si pero sens violencia. A cataluña tambe s'ha patit molt pero malgrat aixo no fem aquestes coses

  • How are they going to get independence without violence? The government refuses to hear them and grant them independence! It is never going to happen.

  • Cataluña lo conseguria solo con politica, en cambio a eta dia a dia la estan debilitando.

  • pero nunca la independencia.

  • Es verdad , Nunca la independentzia

  • Violence begets violence ,killing innocent men women and children is not the answer,the only way the basqe people will regain their homeland is from International pressure, every time there is a terrorist attack by ETA the international support you have is attacked .

  • Best wishes for Basque independence from the T.L.F.!

  • Lies, lies and more lies. 4000 Basque separatist refugees in France? No, those are related to ETA terrorism and prosecuted by spanish police. The true basque exode is the non-nationalist and it's about 120000 people. Yes, 120000: lawyers, journalists, workers... even basque language teachers. Basques have privileges in Spain that no other region has. They don't have the right to choose independende but no other region has.

  • eta basque=whinners

  • My God Spain will break soon

  • IT WONT.

  • INDEPENDENTZIA !

  • this one you call an activist is a member of ETA (comando Donosti) I understand you love him, because all the miserable and undernormal people seems to love each other..

  • We are not iberians,we are not spanish, we are not french, we are basque and proud we are to be, so fuck your fucking flags,we want our country back, we want to see old Vasconia free once more!!

  • Long Live The Basque!

  • euh tes bask ou tes con hahahah

  • KUDOS TO YOU MY BASQUE FRIEND!!!!

    Long live the BASQUE!!!

  • You're a lunatic. Seriously.

  • you can build the great basque wall and separate from the rest of the world but meanwhile you ARE iberian, and if you are so racist that you feel basque is another race, you go to hit the wall with your head so the racism you feel calms down

  • Bietan jarrai.

  • Speak about the people that you and you fuckking terrorist gruop can´t speak with freedom

  • for 8 hundred years we fought u wif are fears will fight for 8 hundred more up the real ira eta

  • Aljazeera, a muslim television, supporting a terrorist group is logical. Who are the major terrorists in the world in this moment? Muslims, of course.

  • sorry but just some muslims are terrorists, the same as just some basques are terrorist. don't generalize...i'm basque and i want the independence for the basque country but i'm not a terrorist. and i have some muslim friends who are really nice people...don't talk about things you don't know!

  • No, this is basque language, comes from Maghreb, it's a kind of an arabized berber language imported during the invasion of Italy by Hannibal. It's been spoken in Nothern Spain, not too far from Africa.

  • THE SPAIN is the same Spain that made the first holocaust against the jews the same spain that made the genocide against amerindians, the same fascist frankist Spain...a nation prison and concentration camp ...Justice, Freedom and Democracy for the basque country and all humanity...greetings from Albania

  • Ha!

    Never!

    Fight us for it, janissary!

  • Al Jazeera should research a bit before assuming that an ETA terrorist is a political refugee.

    In Spain there is a democracy since 1978, and any idea can be freely supported without any repression. E.g. we have a King, but there is a republican separatist political party represented in the parliment that want the King out.

    The only place in Spain when you can not openly defend your ideas is the Basque Country, where if you are not nationalist, you are a target to be killed by ETA.

  • eta, españa eta frantzia KANPORA!!!!!!!!

    Gora euskal herria askauta!

  • How can he compare the Basque Country to Palestine... Unbelievable.

  • If other countries can support Kosovo independence then why not Basque independence?

  • Exactly. Most of the West supported terrorist murderers in Kosovo, so why not elsewhere?
