    exactly what I was saying about the languages.

    Some Basques don't want to be part of Spain, some do, some do but still feel they are superior to the rest. I blame it on the language. If there was no language but Spanish, I think the problems would be less.

    Again because a language signals an identity different from the rest.

    Some Spaniards also will think all Basques support the terrorists there and of course that will offend the Basques that don't. And already friction has been created.

    Of course, the Basques were there all along, the Turks came in in the past. So not sure how much of a similarity that will be.

    Same for Barcelona and the soccer team , now they are playing the champions (when is it BTW?), some Spaniards will support them some will not, and when they win ( ;-) ) Barcelona will probably say that Catalonia has won but not Spain because no Spanish team was playing. Again, friction. Madrid will say that they are not Spanish so screw them, don't want them to win. Of course some in Catalonia wanted to remove Spanish as a co official language and put French instead.

    Friction again :-)
