| | ETA Details, Meaning ETA Article and Explanation Guide |
 | | ETA forms part of what is known as the Basque National Liberation Movement ( Movimiento de Liberación Nacional Vasco, MLNV), consisting of several distinct organizations embracing left Basque nationalist politics (Spanish: izquierda nacionalista vasca, Basque: Ezker abertzale, often seen in the mixed-language izquierda abertzale). |
 | | Hence ETA has adjusted its agenda by opening up to new possibilities, as reflected in the 1995 "Democratic Alternative" which offered the cessation of all armed ETA activity if the Spanish-government would recognize the Basque people as having sovereignty over Basque territory and the right to self-determination. |
 | | The principal consequence of the change appears to have been the creation of the "Y Groups", young people (generally minors) dedicated to so-called "kale borroka" — street struggle — and whose activities included burning buses, street lamps, benches, ATMss, garbage containers, etc. and throwing Molotov cocktails. |
