Well u can find plenty of writings about the Nations and at a very early stage, lots will be tried to build protections alright I guess there shoudnt be any reward for failures but never mind it was something the Fathers had in mind and they tried to elaborate and build to protect. U can look as much as u want in the french stuff u r not gonna find anything like it in the french revolution writings to protect the Small Nations, their languages, cultures as well as their core interests. It doesn't matter how u look at it, it isn't just there what makes it so complicated today I guess as the work on the legitimate character of Rights and Land for those nations isn't part of the french play book. To make it short they don't know what u r talking about. What is obvious for anybody else, did u ever heard anyone questionning the Scott character of Scotland, no. Well most french are not educated to understand Euskadi's point of view, bottom line being there is no Euskadi.... I know it sounds crazy to u and it does to me but french human sciense is very very poor not to mention there isn't a culture of accountability in politics allowing the core interests of these nations under french administration to be neglected without consequences or even the slightest unease about these matters on the politicians side.
