Abertzale
''Abertzale'' (; English: "patriot", literally "fond of the fatherland") is a Basque term usually referring to people or political groups who are associated with Basque nationalism. Although the term is synonym of "patriot", its common use in Basque mainly refers to Basque nationalism, whereas in the Spanish language ''abertzale'' (also spelled ''aberzale'') means "Basque nationalist". The use of the term by members and sympathizers of Herri Batasuna, and the fact that the followers of the Basque Nationalist Party (''Partido Nacionalista Vasco'', PNV) call themselves '' jeltzales'' more than ''abertzales'', has brought about a situation where in the Spanish language the word is at times associated with that particular leftist current of Basque nationalism. Several organizations past and present have used this word in their official Basque-language names: *Abertzaleen Batasuna (''Unity of the Abertzales''): A political party in the French Basque Country. *Emakume Abertzale Bat ...
