COMMENTARY     

OGV
13th October 2005
The great majority of people from Basque Country, Galicia and Cataluña does not want independence, perhaps more autonomy but not independence.

Galiza does not exist, ther real name is Galicia and in Galician language is Galicia. The Spanish took the name from the Galician, the correct name in Spanish should be Gallicia but in old times that word vanished and Galicia remained in the Spanish.
