He flew, he flew.
Carrero flew!

We were always very careful
:28:19
to say and to state
and to write ceaselessly
:28:23
that the military arm
:28:24
would always follow
the orders of the political head
:28:28
and not the reverse, which is,
unfortunately, what happened.

The militants who joined ETA
in the 70s
:28:45
were, on average, 22 years old.
:28:48
The immense majority were male.
:28:50
They were mainly from Guipuzcoa,
and from those regions
:28:55
with many small
and medium sized towns,
:28:57
regions where more than
40% of the people
:29:01
spoke Basque fluently
and on a daily basis.
:29:04
Both the open and secret discussions
were gradually abandoned
:29:08
and replaced solely
by classes in weapons handling.
:29:19
Many Christians
in the Basque Country,
:29:21
including the ordinary
diocesan clergy
:29:25
who also participated
:29:27
must have said to themselves
at one point: Where are we going?
:29:30
It was an important moment.
:29:33
But the dictatorship continued
until 1975.
:29:36
We mustn't forget
that in September 1975
:29:40
Franco approved the execution
of three members of FRAP
:29:45
and of Txiki and Otaegi
who were in ETA.
:29:48
As a result,
the feelings of exasperation
:29:50
and of loathing towards the regime
:29:53
lasted until Franco's death.

ArĂse, my boy, stand up.
