Thousands march to back Basque party

Thousands of people have gathered at the Basque city of Bilbao in northern Spain, calling for the legalization of a new separatist party, Sortu.

Supporters want the party to be allowed to take part in the upcoming Basque local elections. They say the party is against the use of violence and will fight for independence through political means, the state-funded BBC reported.
