20 April 1950,

For writing in Basque, an article in the press was censored by José Artetxe. The introduction of a verse in Basque in the article written in Spanish was sufficient for the Franco authorities to censor the article. It wasn't the only time Artetxe was censored for writing in Basque. Artetxe fought for Franco in the 1936 War, but this did not win him favor in censorship. This would have to do with the approach of the revisionism of war and the assertion that both sides had "good and bad".
