		The strategy of the Ajuria Enea Board was to destroy the abertzale left [the pro-independence left] and defeat the sector most unprotected, but I think it failed because the Collective of Basque Political Prisoners has managed to stay firm and, moreover, there have been great examples of firmness.
		Regarding the unity of action among ELA and LAB, it happened that the Spanish unions CC.OO [Workers Commissions] as well as UGT [General Trade Union of Workers] were invading a ground that was damaging Basque syndicalism.
		ELA saw the necessity--LAB had already proposed it--of a unity of action of the two abertzale [nationalist] unions to counterarrest the centralism of UGT and CC.OO.

	Basque rights and Spanish democracy
		The transfer of the political hegemony of the abertzale movement towards bourgeois nationalism is the inevitable consequence of the breaking of the ceasefire.
		The abertzale left can and must open a profound reflection on these questions and other similar questions, because it is the precondition for the recovery of the credibility lost and the votes lent to democratic nationalism.
		Despite this, it was not able to win over the critical sector of the abertzale left, and this fact constitutes or should constitute an important factor of analysis when we consider initiatives of recomposition or regeneration of the Basque left.

		But the prisoners themselves in many occassions have said that their liberation would be the consequence of a negotiating process and thus, not to think that the political conflict would be overcome with the release of the prisoners.
		Being that independence and socialism are the axes of the Abertzale Left movement, the structures of the movement are the instruments.
		The Abertzale Left has a great future; until now we practically have not worked on our political project, because what we are proposing and cultivating is the struggle for the fundamental rights of Euskal Herria.

	Abertzale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Abertzale in the Basque language means roughly, "patriot", and is used to mean "Basque nationalist".
		Abertzaleen Batasuna (Unity of the Abertzales): A political party in the French Basque Country.
		The names Ezker Abertzalea (Izquierda Abertzale or "Abertzale Left"), Nafarroako Sozialista Abertzaleak (Abertzale Socialist of Navarre) and Araba, Bizkai eta Gipuzkoako Sozialista Abertzaleak (Abertzale Socialists of Álava, Biscay, and Guipuscoa") have been used by various parliamentary groups of Herri Batasuna and Euskal Herritarrok in different parliaments.

		On the one hand, there are capitalists, who sell the right to remain alive in return for their money (kidnappings, extortions and flmails, etc.) and, on the other, the poor, who have no option and must die by the arms and munitions deriving from the kidnapping of the rich (the victims of terrorism).
		Democratic unity against terrorism demands an agreement as regards the supreme value of the life of people and the freedom of citizens.
		It also demands that it be recognized that ETA violence does not bury its roots in a political conflict which the democratic system would have been able to resolve, but rather that it obeys the totalitarian, exclusive attitude of those who practise and promote it.

		The Spanish constitution is based on the "indissoluble unity of the Spanish nation." Herri Batasuna backed ETA's political goals and, while contesting for elections, rejected parliamentary democracy for representative democracy based on peoples' assemblies.
		The Koordinatzaile Abertzale Sozialista (KAS, Basque Socialist Co-ordinator)--KAS was created during the last months of Francoism to coordinate the mobilizations against the executions of ETA activists in September 1975.
		If the leadership of the Basque nationalist parties would put aside their individual party's interests and acknowledged that Navarre already has its distinctive political society and is a (Basque) state under occupation, the so-called Basque conflict could be resolved -the only way in which our occupation can truly be resolved.

		Notwithstanding, in order to exercise self-government, the Constitution confers the right of autonomy, which does not mean sovereignty or may challenge the unity of the State; rather, it is a complement to it.
		The right of self-determination is not a univocal collective right, as the same UN resolution that recognises it for colonial cases, rejects it when it is used to partially or totally destroy the territorial unity of a member state.
		The political ideal of the nationalists of a united Euskal Herria or nation which is about to be born, may be compared to that proclaimed by a Greater Germany, a Greater Serbia or a Greater Israel which claim far-off territorial limits (from the time of David, etc.).

		It was, he wrote, necessary to explain that the “economic unity of the country with an extensive autonomy of national districts” would lead to the greatest advantages for economy and culture.
		It has resulted in the weakening of the unity of the working class and the Balkanisation of countries and regions—shown most brutally in the dismemberment of the former Yugoslavia.
		The unity of the working class presupposes political opposition to separatism, but it does not mean identifying with the national capitalist state.

		The abertzale parties have all tried to avoid alienating the Spanish immigrant population.

	ETA’s declaration of permanent ceasefire: For a genuine socialist programme to resolve the national question
		This is fundamentally due to two factors: the attitude of the reformist leaders of the left towards the national question, particularly the PSOE and the PCS (Communist Party of Spain), and the repression of the Spanish bourgeois.
		The Abertzale Left has achieved, since the general crisis of capitalism and the exponential growth of unemployment, and the absence of a revolutionary and internationalist class alternative, enormous influence amongst the masses in the Basque Country.
		Although the right wing affirms that the ceasefire of ETA is due to the illegalisation of the Abertzale Left, the repressive legislation, and police efficiency, the reality is that the only thing that the repression has achieved has been to feed the conflict for years.

	[NYTr] On ETA's Ceasefire
		These elements, along with the inability the Abertzale Left to distance itself from the Basque bourgeois, has allowed the latter to play the role of protagonist, a role that it has never deserved and which allowed them obscure the genuine class interests that were the driving force of their fundamental decisions.
		The supposed “nation building” means for the Basque bourgeois putting their promises to one side in exchange for agreements and social peace in the factories and the streets of the Basque country in order to increase their profits through further social cuts against the working class and the youth.
		The only way to end the tyranny of the capitalist system is through the revolutionary action of the working class and the oppressed, on the basis of the methods of struggle which have proven their effectiveness: strikes, factory occupations, mass mobilisations, general strikes, and insurrection.

	Behind the Elections in the Basque Country
		The other Basque nationalist formation is EH (Euskal Herritarrok—Popular Unity), set up in the summer of 1998 by Herri Batasuna, the political party commonly referred to by the Spanish State bourgeois press as the ‘political wing’ of ETA.
		In this respect, the key to understand the shifting relationship between PNV (and, to a lesser extent, EA) and the abertzale left is the desire on the part of each to keep the other—to use J. Edgar Hoover’s celebrated phrase—inside the tent pissing out rather than outside the tent pissing in.
		For the abertzale position, independentist insofar as it stresses ‘national construction’ and the ‘Basque ambit of decision-making’, the political mechanism for achieving these goals is today reduced to an assassination campaign directed at Spanish generals and PSOE politicians.

		A: Without any doubt, we in the Abertzale Left believe that amnesty would be an important step, not only to alleviate the situation of our prisoners, but also to facilitate distension and start dialogue; such a measure could bring about other gestures, like a cease-fire which would be a complimentary contribution.
		A: We never speak of the independence of Bascongadas [Araba, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa] or the independence of Navarre, or of Lapurdi or Zuberoa, although we are pro-independence.
		To have the Navarrese people join a project for unity will be, without any doubt, a long process, where the correlation of forces will be a decisive factor.

		The initial ideology of ETA was inspired by the nationalism of Sabino Arana, whose main elements are the Basque race, religion, Euskara, Basque traditions and sovereignty.
		But ETA replaced the concept of the Basque race for the Basque language and culture as the main symbols of Basque identity, unity and right to independence.
		In constrast with the Christian-Democratic ideology of the PNV, ETA brought a radical secularism to Basque nationalism with its defence of the working classes.

		Basque speaking country, are making cultural history in that it is the language that has moulded and given the Basque people a sense of unity, a sense of being a nation.
		Antonio Tovar comfirms this and explains the situation by saying that the Basques did not take part in the battles between Carthaginians and Romans; Silius Italicus refers to the fact that there were Basque soldiers in Hannibal's armies.
		Nevertheless, this did not hinder the proclamation of the decree on 16th November 1839, under which the Basque judiciaries and legislature were withdrawn, meaning de facto that for the first time during the course of history from 1200 onwards, Basque juridical and constitutional unity was established.

		Repression followed Telesforo Monzon his whole life and even after his death in 1981; when his body was transported to Bergara for his burial, it was kidnapped by the FSE (State Security Forces) and arrived in his home town surrounded by police tanks.
		Nowadays, when the security of elected politicians has the main focus in political agendas, it's possible that many have forgotten the persecution that abertzale mayors and councillors have suffered.
		According to the political interpretation that Herri Batasuna gave to the attack, the murder of Brouard was the "tip of repression dynamics" and the whole abertzale left was in the aim of the Spanish State.

		Firstly, because it took place at the moment of the ritual opening of a space for collective-planetary representation, once of those used by the powers to spread a pleasant image of globalisation and to "naturalise" the competitive dynamism of capitalism.
		Secondly, because it managed to rupture the "exercise of devout re-presentation" of a broad and varied idolatrous community, from the championship host city under attack (which saw its image as city-event damaged), to the Olympic collective (whose unity and organisational capacity was questioned), including the political authorities and the powers of the media and finance.
		In the case of the "false giraldillas", a dissident message was introduced into the official circuit of the event images, but once the interference was captured and processed, "the mockery was mocked".

		It is the Marxist revolutionary alternative of the class struggle that unites the working class above all distinctions of language, race, religion or nationality, and that fights for a socialist world.
		The conduct of the PP in relation to this question is designed to increase tension and create an atmosphere in which violence, murder and madness can thrive.

		For the time being there will be a government of national unity now that the “troika” that has led the country since November 23 has decided to run as a coalition in the parliamentary elections to be held in February or March.
		The prisoners, among whom is the member of the national parliament and treasurer of the “abertzale” group, Jon Gorrotxategi, are alleged to be behind the network of more than 150 companies that have been accumulating annual profits of some 12 million euros a year since 1992.
		The weakness of the government of national unity, due to divisions among a moderate president, a Slav extremist as minister of interior, and Albanian representatives who signed, in May, a declaration of common objectives with the rebels of the National Liberation Army (NLA), creates a situation highly volatile and explosive.

	Permanent Revolution
		Although the group’s initial ideology was inspired by the nationalism of Sabino Arana, ETA replaced the concept of the Basque race with the Basque language and culture as the main determinants of Basque identity, unity and right to independence.
		Article 2 of the new constitution talked of the “indivisible unity of the Spanish nation, common and indivisible fatherland of all Spaniards;” whilst acknowledging “the right to autonomy of the nationalities and regions which form it”.
		As we have seen, defence of territorial unity is a cardinal principle of the Spanish state, irrespective of which party is in office and only a sustained and irresistible campaign of mass action, one which threatens to undermine their rule, will force them into concession.

	No to the outlawing of Batasuna
		When the PNV and the organisers of the anti-terrorist struggle of the Basque police oppose the banning of the abertzale left, arguing that this will give a respite to ETA when its level of support is at its lowest, they show more understanding than the PP and the leaders of the PSOE.
		Some sections of the abertzale left understand that the policy of supporting and allying with the Basque bourgeoisie is having disastrous results and are looking for a revolutionary Marxist alternative.
		In this respect, the defence of the right of self-determination goes hand in hand with the defence of the organic unity of the working class regardless of national barriers in the struggle for socialism.

		His presence sparked violent incidents between the police and leftist demonstrators (abertzale), who attacked the ultra-rightists.
