Patxi's Hope

Is this the time for Patxi López to emerge as a real politician?

Will he continue to be the PSOE's instrument of sabotage in the Basque political landscape?

Is he on the verge of becoming a man?

It is all conjetures when it comes to Patxi, but in the mean time, here you have an article about his comments after his meeting earlier today with Ibarretxe:

Socialist López shares Basque premier's hope for end of terrorism.

The socialist PSE-EE secretary general, Patxi López, has affirmed after meeting the Basque premier that "it's time to confirm the ceasefire is a reality" and not for "individual aspirations."

López has had a meting with Juan José Ibarretxe within the round of talks the latter has started in the morning with leftwing nationalist Aralar, to be continued tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to analyse the situation arising from ETA's ceasefire announcement.

After the meeting, López has admitted there has been a "positive and collaborative climate" he expected would also be present at Tuesday's meeting between Basque premier and Spanish president.

In fact, López has assured he had asked Ibarretxe to keep on supporting the president of the central Government in this process "as he has been doing up to this moment," since "unity is essential for success." "It's time to confirm the ceasefire is a reality and all kind of terrorist violence disappears: attacks, threatens, extortion and street violence," he has added.

He has affirmed that this is what "the road map defines," a road map parties supported in Congress last May.


Hopefully this will be the end of Madrid's state sponsored terrorism also.
