"LEHENDAKARI"

Before the establishment of Standard Basque in the 1970s , it was spelled ''Euzko Jaurlaritzaren Lendakari''. Incidentally, both ''euzko'' and ''lendakari'' are Basque Neologism s created by members of the Basque Nationalist Party .

The generic Basque words for " President " and " Government " are ''presidente''/''president'' and ''gobernu''. In the Basque language, they are used for other presidents, like the President Of The French Republic or the President of Navarre , and the neologism ''lehendakari'' is reserved for the Basque one.

So far, all three post- Franco ''Lehendakari'' have come from the Basque Nationalist Party party.

  • (in exile from 1937 )

  • (in exile)

  • (provisional, hours)

  • (a member of the Partido Socialista De Euskadi , he was actually president of the Basque Council, a multipartite organ preparing the restoration of Basque autonomy.)






Aguirre y Lecube served as first ''Lendakari'' of the ''Región Autónoma del País Vasco'', but Franco's army suspended the autonomy of the region in 1937.
