Federico Krutwig Salcedo (1921–1998) was a SpanishAnarchist, best known as author of several books. Along with Felix Likiniano, he tried to create some Anarchist resistance to the Francoist regime after the Spanish Civil War. The thought of both authors, melting Basque Nationalism and Anarchism gave birth to a minor political current known as Anarkoabertzalism (Anarcho-Nationalism), eventually merged within the hybrid of Marxism and Anarchism known as Autonomism. 1921 was a common year starting on Saturday (see link for calendar). ... 1998 is a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar, and was designated the International Year of the Ocean. ...

His main writings are:
La Nueva Vasconia (The New Vasconia), published initially under the pseudonym of Federico Sarrhail de Ihartza, where he describes an ideal Greater Basqueland comprising all historical territories, from the Garonne to the Ebro rivers. This book was considered by the Francoist police as inspirational of ETA, which was not the case, but caused many members and sympathizers of the armed group to read and ponder it, giving some fame to Krutwig.
La Nueva Europa (The New Europe). In this essay he extends his ideas on Greater Vasconia to Western Europe, claiming and hoping an internal decolonization of the continent and proposing what could be grossly taken as the Europe of the Regions.
Garaldea. In this, maybe his most scientific and serious essay, he studies the origins of the Basques and explores a hypothetical Garaldea (land of "we are" or land of the flame), extending at some time in the past through all Western Europe and the Mediterranean basin. In the annexes, he analyzes transcriptions of Guanche (native Canarian) and Pictish inscriptions, concluding that these two extint languages are not just related to Basque but that they are the very same tongue. This daring claim has not been corroborated by anyone so far.
