Basques argue that their culture and uniqueness are under threat from the national government in Spain. They also argue that they are a net contributor to the Spanish economy and, therefore, lose money due to Spain's welfare system that gives Basque money to poorer regions.

Spaniards outside of the Basque region generally object to these claims, noting that the Basque region has much more autonomy than any other region in Spain other than Catalonia.

Various polls indicate that while opinions on independence vary, many Basques favor increased self-governance.
