Batasuna's Commitment

Madrid (through both the PSOE and the PP) is trying to derail the Peace Process, the PNV is out of ideas, but there is those who stick to their commitment with the Basque people. This note at EITb talks about it:

Otegi: "We commit ourselves to work until the end" of process

Spokesman of banned Batasuna has stressed that armed group ETA has shown reliable evidence of being willing to "find a solution to the conflict".

Spokesman of Basque Nationalist Batasuna Arnaldo Otegi stated on Friday that the Leftists "commit ourselves to work till the end" of the peace process and the political normalisation in the Basque Country.

In an interview on Basque public TV ETB, Otegi explained that his yesterday's statements were "categorical" in order to "warn citizens of the state of the situation". He also noted that it is already five months that the process is blocked due to the lack of any improvement in the creation of the negotiating table, as well as to the persecution the Basque Nationalists are undergoing. He considered that the 12-and a-half-year sentence to Iñaki De Juan Chaos is "the last straw that broke the camels' back".

"Despite all of this, we will carry on working. Channels are still open", he said. "To stabilise the peace process, it is necessary an agreement among Basque parties on the "methods and the political agenda for the multilateral dialogue".

Otegi maintained that ETA "has not broken anything" and has given "reliable evidence" of being willing to "look for a democratic solution to the conflict".
