Basques rally in Bilbao to demand legalization of Sortu
Tens of thousands of separatists rallied in the troubled northern Basque region on Saturday to demand the government allows a newly launched pro-independence party to run in forthcoming elections.
Those behind the party, called Sortu, insist it rejects armed group Eta's violence and hence merits legal status and the right to field candidates in May election.
However, Spain's attorney general said it was merely a repackaged version of Batasuna, a party banned in 2003 on grounds it was part of Eta.
It is up to a special section of the Supreme Court to decide on the new party's legal status. read more about the article here:

THE NEW BASQUE SEPARATIST PARTY IS CALLED 'SORTU'
SORTU means "to Create" in Euskara, the basque language.
The political wing of the Basque separatist group ETA requested Wednesday to register an official political party, which if approved would allow it to field candidates in May elections.

DELPHINE PONTVIEUX IN FRANCE-AMERIQUE MAGAZINE
Delphine Pontvieux is featured in the January edition of France-Amerique magazine.
France-Amérique is published by FrancePress LLC. Founded in 1943 by World War II France Libre exiles, France-Amérique became the international weekly edition of the French daily newspaper Le Figaro in the 1960s. In 2007, France-Amérique merged with the Journal Français, the largest French-language journal published in America since 1978, giving birth to a new bi-weekly publication. In May 2008, France-Amérique underwent a final revamp with the launch of a monthly magazine-style edition. Today, France-Amérique is America's largest and only nationwide French-language publication, and each monthly issue provides an extensive review of French current events and the latest trends, profiles of influential French personalities, an insider's look at the French cultural scene, in-depth history features, and coverage of French life in the U.S. from coast to coast.
