Co-founder of ETA

Member of the Aralar Group
which condemns attacks by ETA
:19:08
Euskal Herria didn't exist
in the sense of political unity
:19:12
because the idea of Basque
citizenship didn't exist.
:19:15
The Basques did have
their own state.
:19:18
It was Navarre.
:19:19
The Autonomous Basque Community
that exists today
:19:22
was never part
of the Kingdom of Navarre
:19:24
or of the ancient
Kingdom of Pamplona.
:19:27
The present union of the
4 Basque-Navarre territories
:19:33
has only been in existence
for some thirty years.
:19:36
We lived for five centuries
under the national control
:19:41
of our people,
the Kingdom of Navarre.
:19:44
The French and Spanish states
:19:47
hide the reality of those conquests
in their historiography.
:19:51
You must distinguish
between myth, history
:19:54
and history created by myth,
:19:56
because at some point
the myth is accepted.
:19:59
Son of José Javier Múgica,
UPN councilor in Leiza, (Navarre)
:20:03
assassinated by ETA in 2001.
:20:14
They killed my father
:20:16
because he was a UPN councilor.
:20:19
UPN's ideas are contrary to the
ideas of HB (extreme nationalism).
:20:24
Just for his ideas.
:20:30
If I meet any of them,
or the mayor,
:20:33
I look him in the eye.
:20:35
I have no reason to look away.
:20:37
He's the one
who should look away,
:20:40
and he does,
because he's ashamed.
