    Basque Regional Elections 2012: The Return of Nationalism under the Influence of the Economic Crisis
    in Regional and Federal Studies , volume 23 n.4 ,  2013 ,  495-505
    The 2012 Basque regional election, held on 25 March, resulted in a new government of the Basque Nationalist Party (PNV). The incumbent Socialist Party suffered a dramatic reduction in electoral support, obtaining just 19% of the vote, far below the 30% they had attained in 2009. This was the first election held in the Basque Country without the looming shadow of ETA (Euskadi Ta Askatasuna; Basque Homeland and Freedom). However, the influence of the economy was stronger than the nationalism issue in this election, as we show in this electoral report.
