Basically there is no freedom in the basque country to express your political opinion. If you decide you dont want to express your political opinion (ever) you can certainly live comfortably in the Basque country. If you go a step beyond and decide you want to support the Basque Nationalist party and vote for them or become involved you can live very well and make tons of money because in this little microwolrd of social experimentation, everything falls into place then. A couple of years ago the basque region was one of the richest regions. Now the rest of Spain is growing at a larger pace. Why? why dont people go and live in the Basque country and make tons of money? Well because they want to express their opinions maybe? Yes.
If it wasnt for the fact that the Basque Nationalist Party is supported in theories and goals by the ultra sadistic terrorist band ETA this situation would be nothing more than a bad joke. But every couple of months they kill somebody. The have killed police officers, journalists, military, young politicians and even children(unintentionally). They have killed more that 800 people. Who will be next?
Ill tell you who will be next. It will be someone who is on a "ETA list" this lists are made with the names of every single politician who is NOT a member of the Basque Nationalist Party, journalists who dont support the theories of the Basque nationalist party, plus all the members of the 4 or 5 different police forces that exist in Spain, plus the military of course. Yes thats right, every single member of the basque parliamet who is not a member of the Basque Nationalist party has to walk around with bodyguards, even the most unimportant or illiterate politician, article writers, jornalists and so on, I tell you this is fucking nuts..The basque parliament is this crazy bodyguard madness that is absolutely unheard of in any other civilized part of the world.
I live in Madrid but I have met many good friends who once lived there, in the basque region. But of course for "circumstances of life" they were forced to leave. One of my best friends here, whose dad is a cop, has nightmares for stories and im not even going to get into that now. I tell you youd go nuts.
my opinion is that it is a sick society, cruel with the victims and with a lot of fear of the terrorists. An average basque is bound to be either a cruel bastard or a fucking coward.
