Nazionalismo e partiti “statali”. Il socialismo nei Paesi baschi fra tradizione e rinnovamento identitario | ||
in Spagna Contemporanea , Anno XXV, n. 49 , 2016 , 103-120 | ||
In recent years, scholarship on Basque socialism has stressed the role of its leadership in the political events that have characterized the Transition to democracy in Spain and in Euskadi. The new socialist leadership had to affirm a radical and pseudo-nationalist identity to innovate the image of a party that was meant to be statewide. The renewal of the Socialist Party in the Basque Country was the local counterpart of the innovation of Spanish socialism, in a social and cultural context where nationalisms have always received a great deal of support. | ||
