Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, our group heard the news about ETA’s communiqué around two hours ago, and we would like to make the following statement. This statement from ETA demonstrates two things.
Firstly, that democracies are right to oppose terrorism.
Secondly, the statement shows that, although democracies are right to oppose terrorism, they must also be able to negotiate and talk things through. That was what happened in Northern Ireland and that is what is happening in Spain, too. I congratulate all the political forces in Spain, which have been able to take a stand and negotiate since, in order to prevent a massacre from taking place, the different sides must be able to talk to each another. I therefore congratulate the Spanish Government and I congratulate all those who have had the strength to show that they are taking a stand and that they are not giving way but, rather, that they want to have done with terrorism, and the end of terrorism always hinges on negotiations.
Moreover, we have requested that ETA send its ceasefire letter to Hamas so that Hamas might take inspiration from it."@en1
