"Two months after the first non-nationalist lehendakari [president of the autonomous Basque government] in the region’s history took office, Basque public television [EITB] has for the first time broadcast a weather map showing the territorial organisation of this autonomous community in conformity with the [Spanish] Constitution,” reports El Mundo. In the past, the map used for the weather forecast included the Spanish and French Basque regions as well as Navarre [another region in the north of Spain]: i.e. the area Basque nationalists call "Euskal Herria". Catalonian public TV broadcaster TV3, for its part, the centre-right daily bemoans, continues to use a map reflecting that “nationalistic fabrication that unites all the Catalan-speaking areas” [i.e. including parts of southern France].
