• The Basque autonomous elections resulted in a tie in seats between the PNV and EH Bildu, but the PNV emerged as the winner in votes.
• Despite the wear and tear suffered by the management of health and security, the PNV will likely renew its government coalition with the PSE.
• The stagnation of the PNV is attributable to the strong performance of its minority partner, which increased from 10 to 12 seats.
• The political landscape in the Vitoria Chamber is worrying, with three-quarters of seats in the hands of nationalists.
• The high voting support for EH Bildu, a political party associated with the former ETA, reveals a moral gap in constitutional parties.
• The nationalist majority may threaten coexistence between Basques and between Basques and Spaniards, creating a scenario of rupture and inequality.
• State parties have failed to offer a political and cultural alternative to nationalism.
• The elections neutralize the risk of EH Bildu surpassing the PNV from the perspective of national politics.

Conclusion: Although things seem to remain unchanged, they are not; the Basque Country has begun an alarming era change with this shift towards nationalism and separatism, endangering the cohesion and stability of the region and Spain.
