Aralar was a Basque socialist[1] and separatist[1] political party in Spain. It was opposed to the violent struggle of ETA.
History
Aralar was born in the 1990s from a critical tendency within
Euskal Herria. Following disagreements over the internal organization of Batasuna, Aralar broke away to form a separate political party. In 2004 the youth wing of Aralar, Iratzarri
, was founded.
In the May 2003 election for the Navarre Assembly, Aralar obtained 24,068 votes (8.02% of the valid votes) and four seats and in the same community obtained 4.76% of the valid votes in the municipal elections and 18 local councillors. In the
2009 Basque elections, Aralar increased its presence in the Basque Parliament with four seats and 6.04% of votes. The head of the parliamentary group is still Aintzane Ezenarro. On 2 December 2017, Aralar dissolved itself.[4]
