| description | After formal «disarmament» in April 2017, in the Basque terrorist organization ETA, which professes a radical nationalist ideology and fights for the independence of the Basque Country, the process of internal debate about its future began. The members of the ETA, most of whom serve long prison sentences in Spanish prisons, are called upon to vote in favor of the dissolution of the ETA in a vote on the outcome of the debate. Nevertheless, the termination of the existence of a terrorist syndicate will not mean that its members will disperse to their homes. The leadership of the organization calls on them to continue fighting for their ideals with political means in the ranks of the legal Basque left nationalists (the so-called izquierda abertzale). Although the problem of Basque terrorism in recent years has lost its sharpness and does not occupy today the first place among the issues of concern to the Spanish society, the departure from the political arena of the ETA - a relic of the era of national liberation movements of the middle of the last century -, in the opinion of the author, has not only a symbolic, but also historical significance. |
