and then, during the transition,
:39:03
there were socialist-nationalist
coalition governments.

:39:07
I think it was a very good period
:39:09
as regards cooperation
and the easing of many tensions.

:39:14
The basis of the Statute of Autonomy
was developed then,

:39:19
under the Socialist government
which came into power in 1982.

:39:23
The Socialist Party
had a majority

:39:26
but it handed the government
over to the nationalists.

:39:29
We need to go back
to what were

:39:31
maybe not good days
but certainly were better days.

:39:36
When Felipe González left...
:39:39
He learned some hard lessons
and suffered with this phenomenon,

:39:43
so he decided to begin talks.
He went to Algiers.

:39:47
I don't know
why that didn't work out.

:39:50
But when Felipe González left
he'd opened a door to ETA

:39:55
for creating an area of dialogue.
:40:04
I'm not just opposed
to violence by ETA.

:40:07
I'm opposed to any violence,
:40:09
whether it's by someone
who plants a bomb

:40:12
or by a civil guard, for instance,
who tortures a person

:40:18
because he thinks that person
is something or other.

:40:22
Arrested by the Civil Guards
in Pamplona (Navarre) in May 2002

:40:26
for alleged collaboration with ETA.
:40:28
After 5 days she was released
without charges.

:40:33
They asked me questions.
I answered them,

:40:36
but they didn't like my answers
so they hit me

:40:40
on the head, on the arms.
They put me up against the wall.

:40:45
They started shouting
and insulting me.

:40:49
A lot of people who have
nothing to do with ETA,

:40:52
who, at most, coincide
ideologically with Batasuna,

:40:56
have been arrested and tortured.
:40:58
Their families have been
contaminated by violence
