for those who are nationalists
from birth.

1:38:05
The Basques have never
willingly accepted

1:38:08
being ordered by others.
1:38:09
We've been
demanding something

1:38:12
and we've been ignored.
1:38:13
A metaphor would be
that of a huge tongue

1:38:17
which is constantly touching
a painful tooth.

1:38:21
It's the measure of an obvious
national dissatisfaction.

1:38:24
There are reasons
for the frustration

1:38:26
that is found among the people.
1:38:28
There is undoubtedly
a feeling of frustration.

1:38:31
Our reality
is a bit frustrating.

1:38:34
This frustration is...
1:38:36
Yes, we do feel frustrated...
1:38:38
That creates a kind of
"victimization".

1:38:41
I believe that everything
that is small has a tendency

1:38:45
to disappear,
I think that's how it is.

1:38:52
The leader of the Basque
government, lbarretxe,

1:38:55
has proposed that
from September 2003

1:38:57
there should be a new status
1:38:59
of free association
with the Spanish State,

1:39:02
based on the recognition of
the right of the Basque people

1:39:07
to be consulted on deciding
their future,

1:39:09
providing the violence ceases,
1:39:12
and also proposing the free,
voluntary annexation

1:39:15
of the three French Basque
provinces and of Navarre.

1:39:20
I don't mean dialogue as an answer,
but rather as an attitude,

1:39:24
as a method,
1:39:26
as a chain with many links,
1:39:29
and right now, all those links
are broken, even the first one.

1:39:42
The PP has made sure that
the term has been discredited

1:39:47
and has satanized whoever
was in favor of dialogue.

1:39:53
If you mention the word "dialogue"
you're a friend of ETA,

1:39:56
you support terrorism,
1:39:58
and you're on the side of
the murderers, not the victims.
