ETA announces ‘its journey has ended’

Basque terrorist group ETA said on Thursday that “its journey has ended.” In a statement, the organization announced that it had “dismantled all of its structures” and had “put an end to all of its political activity.” However, the group also said in the statement that “former members of ETA will continue the struggle for a reunited, independent, socialist, Basque-speaking and non-patriarchal Basque Country.”

The statement goes on to say that ETA wishes “to end a cycle of the conflict between the Basque Country and the Spanish and French states,” that the organization has “no fear” of the democratic process, and that it had made its “historic decision” so that “the process towards freedom and peace may continue on another path.”
