Economic, linguistic, political and social concerns are the issues of Spain's Basque people.
Specifically, the Basque people aspire to cultural survival within a country whose people they do and do not resemble. They feel that the revenues and taxes which were generated and imposed during the years of Spain's control by General Francisco Franco y Bahamonde (1892-1975) were not used to their advancement or benefit. They had to fight to keep their language alive during those years since the national government considered languages other than Spanish - such as Basque and Catalan - the "language of dogs". They know that administrative and elected officials tend to favor and represent non-Basque interests since the four Basque-speaking provinces are a minority in the population of the Iberian peninsula and its islands. They want to make sure that their society which is strong on family and small-scale enterprises endures despite the general tendency - in Spain and elsewhere in the world - towards industrialization, modernization and standardization.
