Batasuna, the independentist and socialist basque party, has been declared ilegal

The Spanish Governement and Garzon judge have declared out of the law Batasuna, the basque independentist and socialist organization. The majority of the Spanish Parlament, which approve the new 'Party Act' one month ago, have voted against Batasuna, the third political force in Euskal Herria. The Spanish police is begining to close all the offices and cultural centres relationed with Batasuna and the left movements in EH. We still don't know the consequences of this kind of represion against the independentist organizations. We still don't know what is going to be the answer of Batasuna. And still worse, we don't know the answer of ETA.
