With all that you are saying, therefore, were the poly miles left by the inventors in 1982?” the journalist Xabier Letona asked former writer and militant Emilio López Adan. It is not a question of imagining fatigue the poor laughter that Beltza has shown when listening to the question. This is the last book by the Vitorian thief for Larrun magazine: History of the armed struggle in the Basque Country. 1967-2011, research based on deaths in the Basque conflict in the last 60 years. The interviewee has just described the environment of Euskal Herria in the early 1980s, in which it was possible that people, starting with ETA's own leadership, believed that the organization would humiliate the State ultimately. “I’m not going to say that much,” he responds prudently to Letona López Adam. Then, chaste nuances. This is the book, juicy.

The journalist, of course, has not easily put the writer with the ghost that brought him on the table. What and miles of poly. Nowhere are there traitors, sold nowhere, are the armed arms of the late Ezkerra de Euskadi in the imaginary of militants and leaders of the old Basque left. An example of what they didn't want. Mirror that you have to get away from your eyes. And an obvious historical precedent. As for the practical conclusions, the political achievements of the miles of poly are equal to the milestones: zero. Among them, the difference from the 1,000 deaths. Detail's pitit.

On the 10th anniversary of ETA’s final truce, Otegi acknowledges ETA’s victims that their suffering should never “occur.” The statement has raised the edges. Long, short; honest, forced by the political situation. These lines are not intended to be judged. However, it draws attention. If it had never happened, why did it happen?

In recent weeks we have again seen how some want to do balancing exercises in history. The round truth: In Euskal Herria there would be no armed struggle without the oppression of Franco and without the global liberation movements of the 1960s. Catalonia, however, without a more tender historical context, did not produce such a deadly shotgun.

Moreover, when he later created it – Terra Lliure erkina – he managed to repeal it without delay. Galicia or Andalusia. Responsibility is not the responsibility of history. The responsibility is that of the men and women who have opted for the worst at every moment in history, in the dock. Things did not happen in force and force. It didn't have to happen that way. Not in 1961, when ETA began attacks, nor in 1979 and 1981, with the possibility of standing, when the volie was screamed forward. The parents of these decisions have names and surnames.

Also in 2011, someone decided it was enough.
