Ibarretxe and Montenegro

This is what the Lehendakari from the Basque Autonomous Community, which along with Nafarroa (Navarre) and the provinces of Lapurdi (Labourd), Behenafarroa (Basse-Navarre) and Zuberoa (Soule) conform Euskal Herria, the Basque Country, has to say about what took place in Montenegro.

And this is exactly what Javier Solana and his pro-colonialist camp were afraid of.

Here you have the note:

Ibarretxe looks to Montenegro as a model for Basque country

Basque regional premier Juan Jose Ibarretxe said yesterday that Montenegro's referendum on self-determination should be a model for Spain, while a Basque official delegation observing the vote in Podgorica declared, "Today in Europe, it is possible to democratically decide the political future of a country and solve a political confluct of historical origins."

The delegation reported that Montenegrin foreign minister Miodrag Vlahovic showed "his great knowledge of Basque reality, and expressed his gratitude for the presence of this delegation at a historic moment for this country." It stressed "the high citizen participation at the ballot boxes and the atmosphere of serenity."

The Montenegro referendum has become the Basque government's reference for carrying out the breakup of Spain, which was officially expressed when the pro-independence Ibarretxe Plan was passed by the Basque parliament. Ibarretxe himself has said several times that Montenegro is the model to follow. "What we're saying is that when Zapatero claims that the right to decide does not exist in Europe, it is not true."
