The Basque separatist group ETA marked it´s 50th anniversary today, as Spain held an official ceremony for two civil guards killed yesterday by a car bomb. ETA has not claimed responsibility, but the Spanish government blames the armed separatists for the attack.
While many Basques advocate for greater autonomy from Spain's central government, not all support total independence. To learn more about this conflict, FSRN spoke to Andre Lecours, a professor of Basque history and politics at Canada´s Concordia University. Lecours is the author of Basque Nationalism and the Spanish State.
