Description
The Basque Parliamentary elections of March 2009 meant a backward process for democratic rights, when the Government prevented the Abertzale left participating because of the Ley de Partidos (Law of political parties), thus distorting the electoral and institutional map of the country. This is the first time that a Spanish nationalist party governs Euskadi, the PSOE with the support of the PP.
The tripartite government of PNV, EA and EB from the last legislation goes into the opposition. ETA continues with violence, the Government rejects a dialogued solution to the conflict and backs the repressive legal-police style related route.

The National Executive of Eusko Alkartasuna elected at the Congress of June 2009 promised to analyse the political situation and create a plan with support from members, sympathisers and representatives from university, culture and other Basque social areas.
On 21st November 2009, the General Secretary of EA, Pello Urizar, presented in Donostia the “Draft proposal by Eusko Alkartasuna to expedite a sovereign agreement favouring the independence of Euskal Herria”.
It is directed at all social independentist political parties, it favours unity of action in a strategic convergence based on defending the Basque people’s right to decide with the aim of achieving a new legal-political framework, as the only way of finding a permanent solution to the conflict, achieving peace and political normalisation.
By overcoming separatism and fragmentation of Basque nationalism, joining forces will allow the social reality of the abertzale majority to be transferred to the institutions, distorted by the Law of Political Parties, and achieve the complete sovereignty of Euskal Herria exclusively through peaceful means.
On a short to medium term it encourages a vast popular movement, strengthens international relations, studies proposals that will allow social authentication of the independentist sovereign convergence and democratically force the French and Spanish governments to recognise Euskal Herria.
