Manuel Valls (french interior minister) talked yesterday about north basque country department. The Departament is a status (where three north basque country can be united and decide about some competencies) is a historical revindication of abertzale people (seeing it as the first step in the way of full independence). In last years, other political parties have supported that revindication in north basque country (local UMP and PSF counciliors etc.).
