Interview with Lara Cayo Otegi Reflections on armed struggle


fragments intervention Arnaldo Otegi in a meeting held in the Kursaal Donostia , and titled on the cover Gara "Otegi raises confront the state as a weak point, the political arena "

" The solution will be given in a European context, and the European context tells us that it is possible to build a state in Europe if a democratic majority is sufficient. The independence left has to make a effort to place the problem in the European context. His position is understood here as a reasonable alternative.

(...)

We must be aware of one thing at the moment, which is the international arena. Since the U.S. administration has launched a "crusade against terrorism." I am well aware that the actions of ETA used in the international arena to avoid talking about the conflict in political terms .

(...)

In all processes of liberation, we are militating we must have the ability to be courageous and honest to understand that the instruments must be tailored to the needs of these processes . I am convinced that in the international arena is possible to achieve the ultimate goals of a process of national liberation if we can achieve a majority in terms of democracy in this country. Against this debate "armed struggle yes or no, I pose another debate:" How to Win. "

(...)

The modus operandi of imperialism has changed. The left nationalist also have to read that and see the winning strategy in the social field also .

(...)

Obviously, the situation has changed. I think personally that is a step in the process of national liberation has concluded . Either we are capable of bidding policy based on a solid foundation for incorporating the new generations, or we will have serious difficulties.

(...)

Now is the State that is in the strategy of "resistance is overcome," that is interested in maintaining the locked position. The left-wing nationalism has to be able to read the situation and devise a strategy that allows you to recover the political initiative and make it impossible to block. have to keep the confrontation with the state in the area that we are stronger and the state is weakest: in the field of political arguments . "

Otegi you preparing the ground for an upcoming change in strategy of the nationalist left passing through the abandonment of armed struggle? Will we soon some decision by ETA in this regard? Perhaps a new cease-fire, in the context of the "pole sovereigntist" q EU may now be brewing with EA ? Do we have a new peace process in the making?
