Euzkadi (daily)

Euzkadi was a daily newspaper published in Bilbao, Spain, to serve the Basque Nationalist Party (EAJ-PNV). Its first edition was on February 1, 1913.

(For the origin of the word Euzkadi and other publications of the same name, see the article on Euzkadi).

Euzkadi published texts both in Basque and Spanish, and it employed one redactor in chief per language. First redactor-in-chief for Basque was writer Evaristo Kirikiño Bustintza.

One of the Basque nationalist journalists who wrote for the paper was Manuel Aznar Zubigaray , who later would become a falangist (and also the grandfather of eventual Spanish prime minister José María Aznar).

In 1921, after a split in the Basque Nationalist Party, Euzkadi supported the branch called Comunión Nacionalista Vasca ("Basque Nationalist Communion").

In June 1937, during the Spanish Civil War, after the "national" forces occupied Bilbao, Euzkadi's publication was cancelled and the premises were offered to El Correo Español which then was the newspaper of Falange.

However, Basque nationalist refugees continued the publication of Euzkadi in Barcelona in a period of 1938 and 1939.
