PostIndependentzia by Calzada, I

“…We have not materialised the metaphor and fully come to terms with the diverse and socially complex nature of the Basque geographies. Quarrelling and short-sightedness remain the daily rule in Basque politics, and dealing with this provokes a mess entangled in a contradiction that paralyses any forward-looking attempt at strategic policy-makings. …”
