Carlist Party of Euskalherria (before 2000 Carlist Party of Euskadi (Basque: Euskalherriko Karlista Alderdia and Spanish: Partido Carlista de Euskalherria; EKA) is a left-wing carlist Basque political party, with presence in the Spanish Basque Country. The party was historically part of the pro-Carlos Hugo wing of the carlist movement. The party wasn't legalized until late 1977.
EKA defines itself as a federation of the Carlist parties of each of the four Basque provinces (Nafarroa, Álava, Gipuzkoa and Bizkaia), each of them fully autonomous in their respective territories.
At the state level EKA is confederated with the Carlist Party of Spain (or "the Spains" according to the traditional terminology of the movement), one of the parties that claims to be the direct heir of the historic Carlist movement. The party has an official magazine, Montejurra, which it is also the name of the mountain where they celebrate their annual feast.
After the general assembly of October 2008, the party appointed José Maria Porro Saínz (exmilitant of the Grupos de Acción Carlista and one of the leaders of Unión Sindical Obrera in Navarre) as its secretary general and Feliciano Vélez (who after the municipal elections of 2007, was elected mayor of the Navarrese town of Puente la Reina in the lists of the Agrupación Electoral Puentesina) as organization secretary.
