  First of October Antifascist Resistance Group (GRAPO)
GRAPO is vehemently anti-United States, seeks the removal of all US military forces from Spanish territory, and has conducted and attempted several attacks against US targets since 1977.
GRAPO did not mount a successful terrorist attack in 2003, marking the second consecutive year without an attack.
In June, seven GRAPO members—including four leaders—were sentenced to various prison terms in France.

GRAPO made its appearance in a crucial moment of Spanish political life: in 1975, when the fascist regime was going through one of the most serious crises of its history.
GRAPO gave these actions the name "Operation Chrome" and carried them out with the objective of "the liberation of political prisoners and the denunciation of the 'reforms' to institutionalize and legalize fascism".
According to GRAPO, "The working class with its party in the vanguard is the leading and directing force of our revolution, it is the firmest and clearest sector and as such it is the one called on to lead and direct the revolution; the unity of the resistance includes the guerrilla".

From that moment on GRAPO aimed all its efforts at maintaining the armed struggle and giving it a protracted character, assuming that it is not only possible but also necessary to follow a Protracted People's War strategy and that it is possible to develop this strategy in a developed European country.
GRAPO decided to avoid entering into a tit-for-tat battle, because this could only benefit the already alert security forces, and after a retaliation action (the execution of an Army Colonel on June 15 in Valladolid) centred themselves on carrying out an offensive to take the initiative again in September.
Nowadays it seems that GRAPO is undergoing a new re-organization and one thing is very clear: the fascist Spanish state has lost the battle in the sense that it has not been able to annihilate the armed organization nor the revolutionary party, the PCE(r).

 EI:Prisoners:Release of Elbira D. Silveira, GRAPO Political Prisoner
When she was re-arrested, on the 5th December 1992, she was again subjected to torture--physically, sexually and psychologically by the Civil Guard, who even raped her by forcing a gun into her vagina.
We are well aware of the hideous tortures endured by Comrade Elbira while imprisoned and we wish to convey our deepest solidarity with her, as well as for all of her comrades, now that she is once again among the people of the Basque Country.
The IRSP will be present in spirit amongst those who will gather to greet Elbira upon her release from prison and our solidarity will be with her and her comrades as she takes down her photograph from the wall of Basque political prisoners in her home town.

As it can be easily imagined -since this is not the first time that takes place- the news of the arrest of five militants of the GRAPO has come as a terrible shock on the heads of some weak and non-tempered people.
In fact, the situation is escaping their control and they have reasons to be afraid that one of these days an outburst of social unrest could take place.
We have supported the GRAPO since they made their appearance; in fact, we have always believed that they could stand their ground and develop as an independent armed Organization if they applied a just line of resistance that would not isolate them from the people's masses.

Apart from that, it is true that the GRAPO are more selective in the search of their military targets.
This is the eternal contradiction in which the most radical Basque nationalist movement struggles, due to the lack of a politic and strategic approach which considers seriously the overthrowing of the State together with other forces interested in that same objective.
As it can be remembered, in the critical moment of that aggression, the GRAPO blasted with powerful explosive charges the pipeline that provided oil to the US aircraft that flew from Spanish ground to bomb the cities and towns of that country.
