The main QUESTION is underway following the demonstration in Bilbao: Is this another starting point for relations between the PNV and the Abertzale left? Answers of all kinds are being given, but it will surely take time to see the framework and depth of this alliance at the moment. Among other things, because nobody does absolutely what they want, but what they can. Surely it's not going to be the most anticipated image of the Jeltzales coming out of the left arm abertzale down street. But what if pp doesn't leave him another way? If the PSOE doesn't help you?

From the point of view of the civic illusion there is no doubt, once again the manifestation has shown what we already knew: A large majority of the citizens of Euskal Herria want the resolution of the conflict and peace in it. The parties and institutions that connect it will have a wide range of possibilities for action in the new era in view.

It has been two years since ETA announced the definitive cessation of arms and we do not have to be a guess to see that the forces that have adhered to the idea of building a peace process have been more successful than those who have not. That is, the PNV and EH Bildu that were in Bilbao are better than the pp, UPN and PSE or the PSN. Of course, pp and PSOE are mainly affected by the economic reality in Spain, but also in the Basque Country by issues related to the conflict, and not in a sensitive way.

It is quite clear what PP is doing: The finding that intensive work is being done in the Basque Country gives it hope and cohesion in Spain at a time when the country is in such a critical situation. What about PSOE? Now it is enough to establish its own internal organization and its new direction, but it also knows that Basque issues are not the most appropriate subjects to reach the Moncloa, especially if it is not by the repressive means. Therefore, in the short term, we cannot expect, for example at the time of Zapatero, much help in Madrid.

But another thing is the role of the popular and socialist branches in Basque society. The demonstration in Bilbao has once again demonstrated the need to organise a clean peace process. Fiction of the limitation of peace to the disappearance of ETA. It is time for the PSE-EE to rethink its pacification policies and start working on these minimum bases with the PNV and EH Bildu, for example, in the Basque Parliament’s Peace Paper.

The discourse of the ethical floor can be a position of debate, but never a condition or an obstacle to dialogue and solution. The Abertzale left will have to delve into the criticism of its political-military activity in a clear way, but it will never say what the PSOE means to the ethical ground; it will never say that ETA had no meaning and that it has been wrong for 50 years. He's not going to say it because he doesn't feel it, because he would deny his story and, more importantly, because as a Left, Abertzale would deny his future.

For the majority of Basque society, ETA has been a terrorist organization in the last two or three decades. But is that all? Obviously not, for the majority of Basque society ETA’s activity has been politically motivated, there has been a conflict here and this must be resolved by political means. That is why Basque society is in favour of structuring the peace process and, to that end, it should at least have a clear turning point. that's it.

After all, why did the Jeltzales call the demonstration next to the Abertzale left? If Tantaz Tan persisted in the call for demonstration, would the Basque Government have to send to the Ertzaintza? To send a clear message to Madrid? Why have you read the wishes of the majority of society for peace and solutions? There may be a little bit of it, but these start-up reasons have often been given over the last two years. Why now?

For the time being, it seems that the answers have to be sought in the peace process rather than in national construction, in the peace conference than in Lizarra-Garazi. It's no small thing. And lehendakari Ibarretxe liked it so much, and then he liked it so much.
