Otegi and the Agreement

Basque self-determination is something that is up to the Basques, so, I agree when Otegi says that any agreement must take place in Euskal Herria.

Here you have the note about his interview with EITb:

Peace Process

"The agreement has to be reached in the Basque Country" - Otegi

Arnaldo Otegi, spokesperson for the outlawed Batasuna, stressed Basques are facing a process "with two spaces." One of them is taken by the central government and ETA, and the second space by Basque political parties, "which have to reach a political agreement to solve the Basque conflict."

In his opinion, "judicial aggressions to Batasuna" block the second space, as well as the Spanish government's intention to transmit the message that "Basques are uniquely before a technical process to put an end to violence, and Zapatero will run a possible political process from the central government."

Thus, in view of this obstacle, Batasuna has decided to name a negotiating commission, whose members will be announced on Wednesday with the intention of "making moves." "Besides, we want that the rest of the parties feel called together and do the same to make negotiations possible."
