- Last April, the secretary general of LAB, Rafael Díez Usabiaga, said in a statement to Euskadi Irratia that "short term" we would be faced "new designs. "
- In May, Juan Mari Olano (Gestoras Pro Amnesty spokesperson) claimed in the weekly Argia be convinced "that this people will return to the situation sooner than people think. Not only the nationalist left . There will be a new opportunity will not be missed. Concerns us all. I can guarantee that the nationalist left to complete is ready to seize the moment ".
- In September, building on the tenth anniversary of the signing of Lizarra, President of EA , Unai Ziarreta, bet to" reclaim " the path of that pact.
- November 9, El Pais published this suggestive statement: "The internal division covers also the demoralized ranks Batasuna militants and manifests itself in the promotion of dynamic and electoral participation projects implicitly questioning the role of "leading edge" assigned to ETA anticipate the possibility that the terrorist organization chooses to abstain and the boycott of the elections. Arnaldo Otegi, the former spokesman for Batasuna recently released from prison, former general secretary of trade union LAB, Rafael Díez Usabiaga, and other former leaders like Tasio Erkizia are driving with former Commonwealth Secretary General, Joseba Elorrieta and former Basque Minister of EA Sabin Intxaurraga, creating an open platform independence to political and trade union left-wing nationalism, EA, Aralar, Zutik and Euskal Batasuna (party of the French Basque area) as well as ALS. The creation of this platform, an imitation of Nafarroa Bai, with Batasuna in place of the PNV, would allow the activist base and its electorate out of the political wilderness, save injunction hanging over his public and downloaded to a large extent on the railway protection exerted by the terrorist organization. The union's national congress commonwealth has conditioned its participation in the process "democratic" and "civil", ie free from pressure and interference of ETA. And it is conceivable that the conditions of EA, a party that seems to opt for breaking the electoral alliance with the PNV, and other groups would be convened no less demanding. The question is whether the promoters of this project will go ahead in the event that the organization terrorist reject it. "
- The next day, November 10, EA announces the end of its alliance with the PNV and the 11th its president, Unai Ziarreta, made public its commitment to" a great movement for independence "stating that" the solution can only come through the articulation of a large sovereigntist movement to achieve, through peaceful and democratic, the majority of the public commitment to move towards a new legal framework in which all political projects, including the independence as that unequivocally defends EA, can materialize. "
- Today, November 12, the nationalist left is declared willing to "work" with EA for a "common sovereignty project:" If EA is willing to exceed the constitutional limit, the left wing nationalists have no problem to make a common effort from the current autonomous project. " Think of a block sovereigntist "with three goals based on overcoming the current political framework, independence and social model" as opposed to neoliberalism PNV. Also claim that their offer is "deep" and "longer term" than the merely electoral.
remains whether the above are mere electoral strategy for the next renewal of the Basque Parliament (it is possible that EA just try to attract the nationalist vote, an orphan from the outlawing of ANV and EHAK) or, on the contrary and in light of the above evidence, would be part of the public staging of a prior, secret agreement, similar to what happened in Lizarra. In this case, various questions arise: How would the state against a broad alliance of independence and left? Do you realize this in some sort of electoral coalition? What would set the Basque Parliament with the actor on stage?
And ETA? How to be positioned in such a situation? It seems unlikely (but very useful for the purposes propaganda pursued) the thesis of the country by which the whole plan is being carried out behind the terrorist organization, but also hard to believe that EA, Aralar or Zutik to develop agreements are in line with the nationalist left while ETA continue in business.
We'll see.
