Basque Elections: Bildu Leads, Socialists as Potential Kingmaker
Apr 21, 2024, 01:00 PM
In the recent regional elections in Spain's Basque Country, the left-wing separatist coalition Bildu, which is seen as the successor to the political wing of the now-defunct armed separatist group ETA, is leading in the polls. This election could mark a historic victory for Bildu, amid concerns from the Spanish establishment about the party's past connections to ETA. The focus on these historical ties by the media and political figures has overshadowed the pressing social issues that have bolstered support for Bildu. The elections have resulted in a tie between two Basque nationalist parties, positioning Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's Socialist party, which finished third, as a potential kingmaker in forming the government.
