Eztabaida:Hego Euskal Herria

Wikipedia(e)tik

[aldatu] Inconvenient article.

Euskal Herria doesn't exist. Articles like this are very dangerous for Wikipedia. It's a political opinion article, not an objective study about the real Vasconia. For us to say that Navarra is "Euskal Herria" is the same that to say that Osama Bin Laden is a man of the anti-system resistance.

If you think the article is not fair we will accept any sugestion but I don´t think your note is free from political contamination. Maybe you are mixing two diferent concepts the article doesn´t explain because is very short (I´ll try to expand it), those concepts are the Autonomous Comunity of the Baque Country (what we call Eusko Autonomi Erkidegoa, in spanish Comunidad Autonomica Vasca) and Euskal Herria, wich I think you call Basque Country (this very similar nomenclature can be the source of your mistake), both are diferent things, the first one is a political institution within spain wich does not include Navarra, the second one is a kind of cultural comunity formed by all the regions with basque heritage and culture. It´s true that the Euskal Herria concept is very close to basque nacionalism, but even if it is so or not this concept includes Navarra and the french regions of Lapurdi, Zuberoa and Nafarroa Behera. We can compare maybe the autonomous country with Holland, Navarra with Belgium and Euskal Herria with the Benelux (I´m not telling the situation is the same, I´m only triyng to get myself understood), it doesn´t matter if Holland wants the benelux to become a independent estate, Belgium it´s part of Benelux because the definition of benelux includes Belgium.

I think your comparison with Osama Bin Laden being a man of the anti-system resistance is ofensive to lot of people, you should try to keep calm and get better informed before writing.

Sorry for my english, I know is not very good, but I hope you will understand it. And if your are concerned about basque political contamination you should too look for the anti-basque political contamination. Navarra´s situation has been mentioned the last year many times it´s not an easy matter but I think the anti-basque fear propaganda has been working too much, Navarra´s political estatus has got nothing to do with the basque comunity even if it´s got sometimes pretensions over Navarra, no one should get so escandaliced, the whole thing should calm down and both sides do have to be less selfish and think that somehow nacionalists and non-nacionalist do live together.
