Basque regional premier Juan Jose Ibarretxe waves to journalists following a news conference in Vitoria September 12, 2008. Ibarretxe announced plans to lodge a complaint at the European court of Human Rights against the Spanish government after Spain's Constitutional Court blocked a referendum-style vote on the region's ties with the rest of Spain.
