Wolf, a referendum to change the Constitution must be national wide, not only local.

Also, as I stated above, there are not enough guarantees for the basques to vote in freedom (not fearing reprisals for voting some party).

Your argument is: Let them do what they want, so they will stop the bombings. ETA will continue killing even if they reach an idependent country. They are a marxist-leninist terrorist band, it is a joke to think otherwise...

What of the 50% of non-nationalist who doesn't want an independent country? What for the 200,000 baques exiliated to other regions of Spain? Would they have a vote right? The inmigrants? (called spanish rats by a PNV politic in a most xenophobic way) Who could vote? What would happen to those who didn't vote for independence?

And finally: Would you as an american leave, for example, Florida, to constitute itself as an independent country?
