Even knowing that the PP is out of the picture thanks to their commitment to the old Francoist ideals and their inclination to openly repress everything and anything Basque, I still have my doubts about the honesty from Madrid to seek a resolution, the PSOE's track record is not exactly something to admire.
And well, ETA is not helping either.
From the whole article "All Parties Barring the PP Prepare to Back ETA Talks", this is the part worth reading:
The resolution, stemming from Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero's commitment to ending the Basque conflict, voiced during last week's state of the nation debate, would open the way to talks with ETA.
Though the motion has gained the backing of the left and regional nationalists from across Spain, the Socialists' efforts to secure the support of the PP have so far failed despite conversations between representatives of both parties yesterday. The resolution is therefore likely to be approved by 202 votes in favor to 148 against, barring a last-minute change in heart on the part of the PP. That, however, is unlikely given the conservative force's outright rejection of negotiations with terrorists.
The approval of the resolution today will be "the greatest humiliation of parliament," PP Secretary General Angel Acebes declared in a press conference yesterday.
