The Scottish National newspaper today publishes a call by the member of the Basque parliament Fernando Baran to create a pan-European alliance of parties advocating for the independence of the oppressed countries on the continent.
He told the newspaper: "The Scots, the Welsh, the Flemings, the Basques, the Catalans - all these peoples who do not have their own country do not have the luxury of acting in isolation, without taking into account what is happening in others."
The proud Basques called on these peoples to put aside the ideological differences and divisions between left and right, and place the struggle for the independence of their countries at the forefront of the future alliance.
The time has come! We must throw off the colonial shackles of this European prison of nations!
