The spectrum is much wider.
:04:04
The reality of the Basque conflict
is much more complex.

:04:07
It isn't so easy to define.

In my opinion,
the capital sin being committed

:04:23
is that of situating
the center of the debate

:04:28
in the Basque Country-Spain
confrontation.

:04:30
But 48% of the people
:04:33
born in the Basque Country
:04:36
are the children of immigrants.
:04:39
It's a political confrontation,
caused by politicians,

:04:43
by some of the media
and by some intellectuals.

:04:46
It is out of keeping with
the plurality of Basque society.

:04:50
So we have a Basque community
:04:53
divided into two great cultures,
:04:56
or possible cultures,
or possible identities.

:05:00
Basque society has basically
got a multiple identity.

Civil Governor of Guipuzcoa
assassinated by ETA in 2000.

:05:28
Juan Mari was mentioned
in documents belonging to ETA.

:05:30
That was partly why
he went to work in Chile.

:05:34
He wanted to get out
of this environment,

:05:37
at least for a while,
to see if things calmed down.

:05:46
Every three months,
:05:48
he came to Spain,
to Guipuzcoa, to Legorreta.

:05:51
My daughter and I would go to
Chile, especially at Christmas.

:05:56
We talked every day.
:05:58
It was almost as if
we were still newlyweds.
