History (and memory) of the antiFranco opposition in the Basque Country
Abstract
The non-nationalist left was prominent among the groups that opposed Franco in the Basque Country. However, their fight has almost disappeared from the historical narratives Basque nationalists have formulated over the years. The end of ETA’s terrorist actions has forced its practitioners and supporters to reinvigorate traditional historical accounts about their recent past. Their goal was to legitimize terrorist act, presenting them as an inescapable consequence of their fight against Francoism.
