Jump To Comment: 2 1October 3 2004 of "Mikel Antza" (Mikel Albizu born 1961), responsible for 120 deaths was arrested with his partner "anboto" (Soledad Iparagirre - born 1961) blamed for 14 deaths.
Their child is in Cuba.
They were detained in france with 17 convicted members of ETA, a quantity of arms, 1,300 kilograms of explosive and two SAM7 rocket launchers (supplied by irish dissident republicans).
October 3 2005
Harriet Aguirre, (suspected lieutenant to ETA leader Garikoitz Aspiazu who succeeded Mikel Antza) and Idoia Mendizábal and one un-named person were arrested in France.
Amongst the crimes they are suspected of was the murder of a young socialist militant in the Basque,
Eduardo Madina in 2002 who had taken part in the "basque forum" an opportunity for all sides to the conflict within the basque to search for a solution.
He was quite a revolutionary socialist wasn't he?
You know about his case of course.
In 40 years the terrorist group have killed over 850 people.
* madrid motorway service stations on the first day of weekend holidays. the 3rd of the December2004
* an ESB partner electricity station.
on July 12th 2005 which some saw as an attempt to associate of ETA to associate itself with a popular cause which had earlier caused a petition and a referendum in the municipal area.
Their attempts to curry favour were laughable.
Others believe the bombing had nothing to do with either the ESB or energy policy ongoing domestic debate in the Basque region, and was a response to the London bombings of July 7th, honed for psychological and propaganda effect. This is the second time that eta have carried out multi-bombing attempts with warnings and without injuries on the "12th" of the month.
Last December ETA played with both a long weekend and the combination 3/12 to attack all motorway exit routes from Madrid. The bombings have needless to say been condemned by all sides except HB on the basque political stage and will be archived after the news that several key members of the ETA command structure in the 1980s have been "expelled" from the current organisation for arguing a cessation of conflict and complete ceasefire to move with the political parties and institutes of the basque and spain to settlement based on dialogue, concensus and normalisation, which basques want, so that Africans aren't dumped in the desert to be found by NGOs.
NOW WHERE is the information that needs to be checked?
put it through the search engine either here indymedia ireland or berria.info (pro-independence english language) but guess what? indymedia eukal herria can't be arsed reporting the antics of eta. Maybe they worry about paying their rent instead of keeping ahead of the property register or finding the mythic bookshop.
It's really disapointing to read such an article in Indymedia where, in theory, the people who takes part is in the left and revolutionary field, very close to the anti-capitalist globalitation movement.
I would ask to "by" to search and check his/her information because if he/she does it he/she will realise what all the Basque struggle is about wich is the struggle for the survival of the oldest nation in Europe, the last of the "European Indians", to contribute to a multicultural and rich world and is the struggle to build a new society, making their own way to socialism. This is the best way to fight this evil machine called capitalism that destroy al different nations in order to achieve a monocultural world where their corporations can continue exploiting, robbing and killing.
I would apreciate critics to the Basque struggl efrom a revolutinoary and constructive point of view. It's what I expect from Indymedia readers.
There is indeed a lot to learn about the Basque struggle so we can translate it to Ireland.
"By"'s article unfortunately sounds like the pro-capitalist medias "news".
