Connection Low intensity should prove operational ability after arrests of leadership members, not bombs the Peace Presosence of the Batasuna Peace and removing prere on the ruling socialists in Spain, including a dialogue on conflict resolution
The Basque Underground Organization ETA reports again armed to speak. Had her after the devastating strike of Islamists on the 11th. Marz (Bloody election campaign in Spain) First, let the weapons rest all of the weapons, they began in the summer to put isolated bombs occasional bombs. This strike low intensity with packages whose content consists of 200 to 300 grams of explosives has stanned the ETA in recent weeks. However, there are also attacks on companies, electricity pylons or militarizations that cause property damage, as last Sunday for two companies in the Basque Country.
Thus, before the extended weekend in Friday night traffic, the failure matrices around the capital Madrid had to be blocked. The ETA had warned an hour in advance of five bombs at gas stations. The bombs of low explosive power, deposited in paper arched, sharpened hardly damage, but led to a traffic chaos. At 6. December she wound after the same pattern bombs in seven different city. That on Sunday 70.000 people from the stadium of Real Madrid had to be evacuated, is probably not on their account. In the bomb threat of an anonymous caller on behalf of the ETA, the police go out of a ride driver, reported the newspaper El Periodico.
That the ETA flushes its activities, was allowed to return to two factors that are closely linked. After the election victory of the Spanish socialists in Marz were initially hopes, it could lead to dialogue about a solution of the conflict-emitting conflict. The conservative transactions of the People’s Party (PP) had made massive repression for eight years. They had banned communication media, political groups and parties without having to get to a solution near. The promised smashing of the ETA remained, which saw through the massive repression in her struggle only.
After the change of government, the hopes also swelled because the new Minister Prosident Jose Luis Rodruigez Zapatero replaced his promise and to signed the Spanish troops from Iraq. The ETA welcomed the step and demands from the Socialist (PSOE) "courageous gestures "also in the Basque Country. She hoped the new government bring "more common sense to "to achieve peace, "which is based on a dialogue and recognition of our rights ".
But instead of gestures of relaxation, exactly the opposite happened. In September, a heavy blow was guided against the Fuhrung the ETA. Mikel Albisu (ALIAS Mikel Antza), his life haven Marixol IParragirre (Alias Anboto) and other ETA members are arrested in the French Basque Country. Rough amounts of explosives and partly state-of-the-art weapons, such as floor-air missiles, were confiscated. The surgery was no coincidence, as all claims, but the result of long French-Spanish investigations.
It was the signal that a dialogue of Zapatero is not planned. For with Albisu, the negotiator of the ETA was arrested, with which even the conservative government had met in Zurich in 1999. Investments to striking are not charged to him, which is why the French judiciary does not deliver him to Spain.
With the expansion of its actions, the ETA is now trying to prove strong and operational ability to counter the tenor after the arrests, she was hit hard. At the same time, she tries to distinguish itself from the Islamist terror, which makes people’s aim at indiscriminate and that they condemns them ("The ETA-Dementi does not fit Madrid in the stuff"To). The nature of her approach shows: she wants to keep the door open to negotiations, trying to take into account the massive criticism of many mondical actions in recent years, but simultaneously tries to take prere on socialists to pick up a dialogue. In this straw form, the ETA arises behind the Peace Proposal of the Party Batasuna, even if she officially did not uplift. The party forbidden in Spain), which the ETA is politically close, had more than 15 in November in the Spanish Basque Country.000 trend gathered to submit a proposal for a peaceful settlement of the conflict.
Emphasizes that the party "Fine "for use "peaceful means "advertises. In a spagat, she demands the ETA subliminally for the ceasefire, borders politically from her, but avoids its clear condemnation, as it is demanded from Batasuna. According to the proposal, all social and political actors in the Basque Country should "without preconditions "negotiating a conflict resolution, which should be submitted to the population in a referendum for the vote. The ETA was for the first time in the second row. Instead of representing the Basques in negotiations, that should only negotiate with Spain and France about the demilitarization, prisoners, escape and victims.
That the ETA carries the proposal, her prisoners made their prisoners. In a letter to the daily newspaper Gara, the captive collective is largely behind the plan. Condition is to end the repressive policy towards the prisoners. In addition to the abuses (http: // www.Our Site / TP / R4 / Article / 12/12359 / 1.HTML) Talk above all the dispersion. Although the Criminal Code provides for a domestic punishment, they are imprisoned almost all hundreds of kilometers from the Basque Country away.
Actually, the conditions for a peaceful solution are currently objectively as favorable as never before. The radical independence movement is willing to make extensive concessions in their entirety to enclose the conflict for all painful conflicts. Now, above all, the minority position had to enforce the minority position in the Spanish government that the conflict is not released military / police. Otherwise he will continue to weaken so long until the population in the Basque Country preserves the right to democratically determine their future in a free and fair coordination.
