 | | Basque soldiers and politicians who had not managed to flee into exile were imprisoned, condemned to forced labor, tortured, and often shot; all outward signs of Basque identity were prohibited, and the very speaking of Basque was declared illegal. | | | Especially in the Spanish Basque Country, a further difficulty is the presence of a huge number of Spanish-speaking immigrants who came to find work; these immigrants rarely learn Basque and deeply resent efforts to make Basque the primary medium in such spheres as local politics and primary education. | | | It has long been known that the Basques have the highest proportion of rhesus-negative blood in Europe (25%), and one of the highest percentages of type-O blood (55%). |

| | Basque soldiers and politicians who had not managed to flee into exile were imprisoned, condemned to forced labor, tortured, and often shot; all outward signs of Basque identity were prohibited, and the very speaking of Basque was declared illegal. | | | This is symptomatic for all the problems facing the Basque country: the party who's been in power for 20 years, the PNV, refuses to remove ETA and its allies from the centre of power - instead it's trying to make them conform. | | | Basques living in Scotland however must also have been horrified to see Scottish newspapers pin the blame to all Basque nationalists without any evidence whatsoever. |

| | Adventures in Basqueland By June Thomas |
| | In 1609, Frenchman Pierre de Lanure reported to his superiors in Bordeaux that the Basques were "light and quick in body and spirit, liking late evenings and dancing." In the four hundred years since, they've certainly not lost their taste for staying up. | | | Although some, especially the choral groups, tend to be dominated by graybeards, others are composed of twentysomething scenesters. | | | Although the Basques' nocturnal nature might still shock the French, Spaniards generally love to trasnochar—given the climate, it just makes sense to get work done in the morning, rest at the hottest part of the day, then hit the streets when the sun goes down. |
