In brief
More than 200,000 have voted in popular referendums on Basque self-determination
Five more municipalities including Donostia join list
So far, citizens of 208 Basque municipalities have voted in those referendums. According to Gure Esku Dago spokesperson Anjel Oiarbide, the votes have helped begin exercising the right to decide and are an “effective essay in the face of future possible scenarios.”
The question on the ballot paper has been different in each municipality, so there can be no global data for “yes” or “no”. In some cases, citizens were directly asked on whether or not they support independence for the Basque Country, while in others the question was whether they agreed that Basque citizens could decide on their political future.
