Barzona Libre

Barzona Libre (Free Brezonde, Frij Brezonde) is an armed Barzuna nationalist and separatist organization. The group was founded in 1963 and has since evolved from a group promoting traditional Basque culture to a paramilitary group with the goal of gaining independence for traditional Barzuna lands.

History
Barzona Libre was founded in 1963 by several Barzuna youth displeased at the ineffectiveness of Brunanter Political parties at addressing Barzuna issues. At the time, there was no party solely representing their interests, at the national or regional level. BL was initially involved in protests, rallies and petitions to government, but found that they went largely unnoticed.
