Show answer and explanation

✓ Ertzaintza

The regional police of the País Vasco is the Ertzaintza, a word in Basque. In Cataluña it is the Mossos d'Esquadra and in Navarra the Policía Foral. Each comunidad (region with self-government) that has its own police has it by virtue of its Estatuto de Autonomía. Remember the little trick: the name of the police is in the language of the comunidad, so Ertzaintza can only be Basque.
