Igor, Bilbao, Basque Country
I only partly believe this declaration. I don't believe either Eta nor the Spanish government - both
however have lied so many times!
I only believe in the Basque people, a great majority of whom want more political power and an increasing majority want full independence.
Now that Spaniards are in the Basque regional government, the Basque people have seen that our "autonomy" doesn't mean much - and so this makes full independence necessary. Of course, people want this strictly by peaceful means.
Many people are claiming to speak for the Basque people. Why doesn't the Spanish government permit the Basques to vote on their own political future? Are they really committed to democracy? They should give the Basque people a referendum on independence.
