'''Communist Movement of Euskadi''' (in [[Basque language|Basque]]: ''Euskadi Mugimendu Komunista'', EMK, in [[Spanish language|Spanish]]: ''Movimiento Comunista de Euskadi'') was originally the branch of the [[Communist Movement]] (MC) in [[Basque Country (autonomous community)|Basque Country]] and [[Navarre]], [[Spain]]. EMK was previously known as [[ETA Berri]], a splinter-group of [[ETA]]. EMK separated itself from MC in 1983. In 1991 EMK merged with LKI (the Basque branch of [[Revolutionary Communist League (Spain)|LCR]]) and formed [[Zutik]] in Basque Country. In Navarre EMK took part in forming [[Batzarre]]. Some of its most prominent leaders were [[Patxi Iturrioz]], [[Eugenio del Río]], Rosa Olivares Txertudi, [[Milagros Rubio]], Jesús Urra Bidaurre and the brothers Javier and Ignacio Álvarez Dorronsoro <ref name="euskomedia1">[http://www.euskomedia.org/aunamendi/27442 «Euskadiko Mugimendu Komunista-Movimiento Comunista de Euskadi», Enciclopedia Vasca Auñamendi.]</ref>.

EMK joined in 1975 the [[Democratic Convergence Platform]], a coalition created by much of the opposition, led by the [[PSOE|Socialist Party]] (PSOE), to fight the [[Franco dictatorship]]. The EMK took an active role in all the riots and protests of the time and in the creation of the modern [[labor movement]] and tried, along with other organizations, the establishment of a organization that coordinated all the [[Basque people|Basque]] [[Revolutionary Left (Spain)|revolutionary left]], which eventually was not totally possible, although the majority of the organizations<ref>[[Euskal Herriko Alderdi Sozialista]], [[Langile Abertzale Iraultzaileen Alderdia]], [[Euskal Iraultzarako Alderdia]], [[Langile Abertzaleen Batzordeak]], [[Langile Abertzale Komiteak]], [[Carlist Party (1970)|Carlist Party of Euskalherria]], [[Organización Revolucionaria de los Trabajadores]], [[Eusko Sozialistak]], [[Eusko Komunistak]], [[Party of Labour of Spain]], [[Communist Unification Party]], [[Revolutionary Communist League (Spain)|Liga Komunista Iraultzailea]], [[Communist Left Organization]] and the [[Communist League]].</ref> (including the EMK) created a common platform, the [[Euskal Erakunde Herritarra]] (EEH).
===Transition===
For the [[Spanish legislative election, 1977|first legislative elections of 1977]] EMK made a coalition with [[Euskal Iraultzarako Alderdia]] (EIA) called [[Euskadiko Ezkerra]] (EE) candidate Patxi Iturrioz took a few months the only parliamentary seat obtained in the elections, following the resignation of Francisco Letamendia<ref
[[Navarrese Left Union|UNAI]] sent Jesús Urra to the commission of the Parliamentary Assembly in 1977, to prepare the autonomic agreement. However, in February 1978 EMK was dissatisfied with the autonomic process, considering it not enough. The same year the [[Euskadiko Ezkerra]] sent Juan María Bandrés (only [[Euskadiko Ezkerra]] [[Spanish Senate|senator]]) to the Basque General Council (the preautonomic [[Basque people|Basque]] government and the decision of [[Euskadiko Ezkerra]] of voting to the candidate of the [[Basque Nationalist Party]] (PNV) to the presidency of the council, precipitated the decision of EMK, that left [[Euskadiko Ezkerra]], along with the [[Organization of the Communist Left|OIC-EKE]] (which in 1979 would eventually be integrated in EMK). EMK finally decided to support [[Abstention|abstention]] in the [[Basque autonomy referendum, 1979|autonomic referendum of 1979]]. EMK also left [[Navarrese Left Union|UNAI]] the same year. In the [[Navarrese parliamentary election, 1979|Navarrese elections of the same year]] EMK failed to gain any seats in the [[Parliament of Navarre]].
