ETA as everyone knows broke its March 22nd 2006 ceasefire for the Spanish state when it murdered 2 Ecuadorian migrants in Madrid's airport on the 31st of that year. However, many might not know that on the 18th of February 2004, ETA declared a ceasefire for the Catalan territories. It was a cynical exercise and dismissed by most except for the most resolute and radical supporter of complete Catalan independence for the territories of current Catalonia, Valencia, French Catalagne & the Balearic islands. Especially when that ceasefire was subject to a further declaration that "military targets" would be entertained in "paisos catalanes". This summer ETA killed 2 soldiers in Mallorca- (were those two murders somehow legitimate targets?) But today they detonated 3 bombs in bars. = civilian targets. read full story / add a comment

Jon Anza, claimed by ETA as one of their militants, has been missing for over a month. ETA claims the Spanish police knew of his membership and also that Spanish undercover police are very active in the northern basque Country with the collusion of the French police. His disappearance raises fears of a return to the clandestine (and illegal) activities of assassination squads such as GAL operating with French state support. read full story / add a comment

Despite revolutionary socialist idealogues stating the right of nations to self-determination and the duty of socialists to offer solidarity, most of the non-Republican Irish Left have ignored the Basques. With political, social and cultural organisations banned and their activists arrested and often tortured and then jailed for long prison terms (765 convicted political prisoners), the pro-independence basque Left movement is entitled to socialist and anti-imperialist solidarity. read full story / add a comment

Amid a wave of state repression against the basque independence movement including the banning of its parties, the recent elections in the three south-western provinces of the basque Country, the "basque Autonomous Region", nevertheless resulted in 101,000 votes cast for the pro-independence Left. However, the exclusion of a significant section of the basque nationalist spectrum, while not opposed by the conservative majority basque nationalist party, looks like ending that party's tenure of power in the basque Parliament. read full story / add a comment
