Basque grouping ETA has broken off an armistice with the Spanish authorities
Today Basque separative grouping ETA has declared about the termination of armistice with Spanish government, which is to come in force since tomorrow.
The forbidden by authorities grouping declares about the absence of the minimal conditions for continuation of negotiating process and insists on termination of peace treaty.
It is worth of mentioning that EAT has declared “term less” armistice in March, 2006. Even after the explosion, which has killed two people at the Madrid airport in December, 2006, the grouping has confirmed, that the armistice remained in force.
After that explosion the Spanish government, worked out by socialists, has stopped peace talks.
In the promulgated application of ETA it is spoken that since Wednesday (June, 6th, 2007) the grouping will start protecting Basque Provinces by all possible measures.
Observers are afraid, that this application can serve as the certificate of an inevitability of new large terrorist actions from ETA’s side. Nevertheless, within four decades of struggle for creation of the independent state in the north of Spain and a southwest of France more than 800 people became the victims of the radical grouping.
