The '''Communist Party of the Basque Homelands''' ([[Basque language|Euskera]]: ''Euskal Herrialdeetako Alderdi Komunista'', acronym: '''EHAK'''; {{lang-es|Partido Comunista de las Tierras Vascas'', '''PCTV'}}) was a [[communist]] nationalist party in the [[Basque Country (autonomous community)|Basque Country]], that had limited electoral activities prior to 2005, but rose to national prominence when its leadership adopted the program of the banned [[abertzale]] lists of [[Aukera Guztiak]] and, therefore it is alleged, [[Batasuna]]. EHAK registered for elections in 2002 at both the Basque Country and the [[Spain|Spanish]] level [http://www.baskinfo.org/pages/nieuws/engels/no3_2005_eng.html].


The party had been legally registered in [[2002]] but had no known activity until 2005. Like those parties, representatives of EHAK have refused to explicitly condemn the [[ETA]] attacks.
The [[People's Party (Spain)|People's Party]] requested that the Spanish government conducts investigations to ban EHAK too, though the State Legal Service (''Abogacía General del Estado'') and the Attorney General's Office (''Fiscalía General del Estado'') found no evidence to support legal actions against the party. Batasuna asked their supporters to vote for EHAK.


In the Basque elections of [[April 17]], [[2005]], EHAK obtained 150.188 votes (12,5%), entering the [[Basque Parliament]] with nine seats.<ref>[http://www.elpais.com/comunes/2005/eleccionesvascas/ Elecciones vascas 2005 (El Pais)]</ref>

The party was unknown before these elections and, as it had no outstanding personality related to illegal [[Herri Batasuna]], [[Euskal Herritarrok]] or Batasuna was allowed to run in these elections.

On September 18, 2008, the party was outlawed by the Spanish Supreme Court.
