:34:02
Can anyone explain this?
:34:04
So what ETA is trying to do
:34:05
is to break through the Spanish
constitutional process.
:34:09
8 innocent victims
and not one objective fulfilled.
:34:13
If you look at the dates
of ETA's biggest offensives,
:34:17
they coincide with that.
:34:18
Under Franco,
ETA killed about 40 people.
:34:21
During the democracy, the figure
is 700, almost 800 deaths,
:34:26
but of those 800,
:34:28
there were almost 100 per year
between 1979 and 1981.
:34:32
The best thing to do
:34:33
is throw it into an official car
and get them all.
:34:44
The Spanish army has lost
more generals and colonels
:34:47
than in any other war
it has fought.
:34:50
That is a simple fact.
:34:53
During the attempted coup
on February 23, 1981,
:34:56
many people said that
ETA was responsible
:34:59
for the circumstances
:35:01
which led officers
to attempt a coup.
:35:05
The political-military wing
of ETA then announced
:35:07
that it was giving up
the armed struggle
:35:10
to avoid provoking
any further coups.
:35:13
The children of this land
:35:15
will not know
the sound of gunfire.
:35:19
They will not know
the effects of bombs.
:35:22
Very intelligently,
at that time or soon after,
:35:26
the Spanish government
offered reinsertion
:35:29
to the young Basques
who had taken refuge in France.
:35:31
From the second half of the 80s,
:35:34
ETA's decline was
particularly noticeable.
:35:37
Among other things, it was
gradually losing popular support
:35:42
and finding it more difficult
to recruit new militants.
:35:47
A considerable number
of people in the south of France
:35:50
discreetly accepted
the Spanish offer of reinsertion.
:35:54
ETA had to stop this trend,
possibly for the same reasons,
