The Political statute of the Community of the Basque Country, more known as Ibarretxe Plan was a proposal by former lehendakari Juan Jose Ibarretxe to radically alter the Statute of Autonomy of the Basque Country proposing a free association of the Basque Country with Spain on an equal footing, and that including a right to self-determination.
It was inspired by Puerto Rico status within the United States, also the sovereignty-association approach of the Parti Québécois regarding Canada has been cited as a reference.
The plan was refused by the Spanish Parliament and subsequently replaced by also Ibarretxe's proposed Basque referendum, 2008.
