1:26:01
but also by organizations
made up by governments.
1:26:04
I know what I went through,
I know what they did to me,
1:26:08
I know that everything I've said
is true.
1:26:18
Something has to be done.
1:26:20
It has to be said out loud
that people are being tortured here.
1:26:44
The Spanish Government, supported
by PSOE and public opinion,
1:26:48
banned Batasuna
(10% of the Basque vote)
1:26:50
for not condemning
the killings by ETA
1:26:53
The Basque Government
1:26:55
and leading members of
the Basque Socialist Party
1:26:57
opposed the measure,
as did the majority of Basques.
1:27:01
If Margaret Thatcher,
the Iron Lady,
1:27:04
had banned Sinn Fein,
1:27:07
would there have been
peace in Ireland?
1:27:09
I think the banning of Batasuna
is a mistake.
1:27:12
It will create more problems
than it will solve.
1:27:15
This is terrorism
with social support.
1:27:18
It's almost the leading party
in Guipuzcoa.
1:27:21
So what will actually happen is
it will make whole towns illegal.
1:27:26
If you think
that banning a problem
1:27:28
will make it go away,
you are mistaken.
1:27:31
The last thing to do
with that world
1:27:34
is give it arguments
for going further into itself.
1:27:36
In a democracy, you can't have
political formations
1:27:40
which shelter behind
the democratic system they mock,
1:27:43
and use it to gain political
coverage and funding,
1:27:47
to win public understanding
and to support terrorism.
1:27:50
I think the solution lies,
1:27:52
as Ernest Lluch, Jaúregui
and many others said,
1:27:56
on the side of dismantling
their arguments,
1:27:59
of convincing all those people
