A regional football final my son played in has hit the national news because one of my son's team mates had death threats on him made during and after after the match because his father is an ex-member of the EU parliament and is the current leader of the PP in The Basque country.
The match was played in Gernika of the Picasso painting fame which is a lovely place but is a Basque National hot spot.
Many people in the UK think this is some some of romantic movement against the oppressive Spanish state but the reality is that much of the oppression comes from these nationalist groups.
