Basque National Liberation Movement




The MLNV has suffered in the past decade a judicial persecution that has brought many of its members to jail and illegalized many but not all its elements.

Some of the most relevant organizations that can be considered to have formed part of this political current are:


ARMED ORGANIZATIONS




POLITICAL PARTIES

  • Eusko Abertzale Ekintza (EAE-ANV) (''Basque National Action'', integrated successively in the different electoral platforms of the MLNV

  • Herri Alderdi Sozialista Iraultzailea (HASI) (People's Socialist Revolutionary Party, alegal, always run in the successive platforms until the formation of Batasuna), it was considered the political arm of ETA
