Edurne Uriarte Bengoechea is a Spanish politician, political scientist, and sociologist. She is a member of the Spanish Congress of Deputies for the People's Party of Spain, representing The Constituency of Madrid.
Uriarte was born in Fruiz, a small town in Biscay. [1] She attended the Frúniz public school, at the Compasión de Munguía school, and at the Munguía Public Institute, where she focused on the study of music theory and especially the piano. [1] When she was young she became engaged in the anti-Francoist movement. [1]
In 1977, Uriarte became a journalism student at the University of the Basque Country. [1] Four years later, she attended the Complutense University of Madrid, where she studied Sociology and Political Science. [1] In 1987 she began teaching at the University of the Basque Country, and in 1992 she graduated from the Complutense University with a doctorate in Sociology and Political Science. [1] Her thesis was a study of Basque intellectuals. [1] In 1995, she became a tenured professor at the University of the Basque Country. [1]
In the 1990s, Uriarte was a member of the executive of the Partido Socialista de Euskadi (es). [2] In 1998, Uriarte was a co-founder of the civic association Foro Ermua , [3] and she became involved in the grassroots activist organisation ¡Basta Ya! [4]
Uriarte won the 2001 Chair of Political Science at the University of the Basque Country (es). [5] In 2002 she became the president of the Fundación para la Libertad, and distanced herself from her previous affiliation with the PSE. [6] This shift was partly prompted by her experiences opposing Basque separatist terrorism, which included dangerous encounters with the Euskadi Ta Askatasuna . [7]

The 2012 Basque regional election was held on Sunday, 21 October 2012, to elect the 10th Parliament of the Basque Autonomous Community. All 75 seats in the Parliament were up for election. The election was held simultaneously with a regional election in Galicia. Lehendakari Patxi López announced the parliament's dissolution half a year ahead of schedule as a result of the People's Party (PP) withdrawing their support from his government, prompting Galician president Alberto Núñez Feijóo, who had been scheduling a snap election in Galicia to be held at some point throughout late 2012, to make his decision to have a simultaneous vote.

Lehendakari Iñigo Urkullu announced that the election would be held one month ahead of schedule, on 25 September 2016, based on the "climate of ungovernability" affecting national politics as a result of the ongoing Spanish government formation negotiations, intending to move the regional election as far away as possible from a possible new general election. This prompted Galician president Alberto Núñez Feijóo to hold the Galician regional election in the same date.
