Zapatero and Borbon think that the Basque people is not aware of their efforts to derail the Peace Process, well, according to the result of this survey published at EITb the Basques are painfully aware that Madrid is not up to the task and prefers violence and confrontation over peaceful negotiation and resolution.

Here you have it:
Half of Basque society afraid of cease-fire collapse
A 93 percent of Basques are in favour of the process, but are cautious about its course. Half of them think it's advancing very little and are afraid it could collapse, according to a survey by Gizaker for Radio Euskadi.
Basque citizens are overtly in favour of the peace process. Nine out of ten citizens in the Basque Country are in favour of the process, a stance common to all stratums, according to a survey carried out by Gizaker for the public station Radio Euskadi.
Navarre is the province in which the support is lowest with an 89 percent. Those who don't support it say it's not fair, leads nowhere or means surrender. Among those who back the process, the 36 percent think that the way to advance is dialogue, although prisoner's rapprochement and amnesty are considered good measures as well.
Most of those polled –nine out of ten- are in favour of talks between the Spanish Government and the armed band ETA to put an end to violence and a multiparty table to search the end of the political conflict.
The process is not advancing
Despite the support to the peace process and the results, there is some kind of confusion among citizens with regard to its course. Over half citizens in the Basque Country believe that there has been little or no progress since the ceasefire was declared.
Most people don't know why there is no progress, but those who voiced their opinion said the Spanish Government is mainly responsible for it. Curiously, those who think there has been some progress (41.8 percent) think that it was thanks to the steps taken by Zapatero's Government as well as ETA.
Most of them –seven out of ten- think that conservative PP and UPN are the only parties that don't want the process to prove fruitful.
Fear of truce collapse
Over half Basques –six out of ten- consider that ETA could put an end to the truce and could attack people. There is not a clear idea on when definitive peace could be reached. Half citizens assure they don't know, and a 35 percent think maybe in less than five years.
Citizens don't have the feeling that their personal life quality will change if ETA disappears.
The survey was carried out by Gizaker with a sample of 1,000 individuals living in the Basque Autonomous Region, from October 18 to 25.
