Street fighting, truce, elections

For the better or for the worse, most of us perceive that there will be key events in this course that has just begun, especially in the field of political normalization and pacification. There are several reasons why it is essential to strengthen or weaken the important guidelines so far. Whether we like it or not, we are all looking at what ETA will respond to the Brussels Initiative. In these cases all kinds of dates and rumors are spread, most of them oriented in an interesting way. Bolo-bolo that something important will happen in September, El País and Vocento media also wrote last weekend that it could be a ETA truce.
It wouldn't be surprising. First, ETA must respond to the initiative of international size, he suggested that it will do so in due course and before it is too late if it is better for everyone. The affirmation of the ceasefire is indispensable, another thing is that of the commission of verification of it. I have more doubts there. Looking at the position of ETA so far, it would be logical to carry it out at a later stage. Secondly, on the 30th, the Brussels Declaration will be six months old and from then on it will profoundly note the political erosion from week to week.
Thirdly, we are in an electoral climate and the long pre-campaign until May will now begin. The trend of the mandates of the last long years shows that this is the case: one year training the new government, two in hard management and the fourth with a view to the next elections.
It would be naive to think that the historical decision taken by the nationalist left since last year is aimed at the ballot box. But it is also naive to imagine that the nationalist left will ignore the spring elections. It is extremely important for the Basque Nationalist Left to show its strength in the votes again, and it is also convinced that it would have good results in this environment. You have to invent the formula, which for today is not only up to you.

The state has the most important role to play and so does EA and Aralar.
Although many of us, for the most part, would like more, the nationalist left is acting boldly. He will have to do so now and make a new leap for it. We already know the context – “by peaceful and political means” – now new steps are needed. In the face of the elections and resorting to extremes, even the word condemnation can be bitterly swallowed by the famous “legal imperative” or something like that. It was done by the Internationalist Initiative. Words, manners and ways of showing can be numerous, and the current context allows the patriotic left to act boldly.

In the appearance
of the STREET FIGHT there is no coup of optimism, it does not matter if these are made or pushed by sectors of the patriotic left or by the black hand. If they continue, they will have a very negative impact on the process we live in. If it is repeated as a trend, the nationalist left will have to speak more firmly than it has been until now. The most beneficial thing is to finish the trip as a whole, but more fundamentally to finish the trip itself, as the overwhelming majority claim.
