The Government wants the international community know that the ETA ceasefire is not enough. With this goal, sent a different content, which the English embassies abroad after the declaration of truce occur to English diplomatic representatives abroad may have counter arguments and, if necessary, the campaign abroad related groups the band, reported Europe Press sources in the fight against terrorism.
These same sources have stated that transmission of this note was made through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs led by Trinidad Jiménez. This is a communication channel that the Government remains active in order to offer his view on terrorism, whenever necessary or when countries ask for some kind of explanation, either on issues such as the declaration of ceasefire and other aspects more concrete and police operations or judgments.
Thus, the Executive is taking steps to counter the constant attempts Batasuna environment "internationalize the conflict" involving international actors. The main objective is to relax too optimistic possible interpretations as has already been observed in some foreign media.
Just last week, the newspaper Financial Times published in its print edition an article on the cease-fire in which predicted that "this time may be different" previous while calling on the government to "manage the policy care "and recommended the approach of ETA prisoners to Basque jails. International media
"Madrid can not continue criminalizing hundreds of thousands of Basques want independence," came to say that Article picked up by Europa Press. However, the sources did not specify whether the teaching work of the Executive has also been extended to the media.
currently Batasuna environment focuses much of its hopes of internationalization in the work of the South African mediator Brian Currin, author of the 'Brussels Declaration' in late March that called on ETA cease-fire permanent and verifiable. It was a document signed by, among others Nelson Mandela Foundation and several Nobel Peace Prizes, who also demanded the Government commitments in exchange for the ETA ceasefire. After
band's response to this statement, Currin soon return to the Basque country to start its work in front of an International Contact Group, consisting of a small group of European personalities. Try to work in the field of verification and the dialogue between parties to facilitate the legalization of Batasuna.
The Government and particularly the vice president and interior minister, Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba, has always closed the door to the possibility of accepting any kind of international verification. Also, the sources are not confident that the work of Brian Currin and the influences of Batasuna managed to call the attention of major international actors beyond the usual support to those who historically has had the nationalist left.
The sources attach special importance to the outside to the ruling of the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg that the June 30, 2009, endorsed the banning of Batasuna by the English courts stating that the objective of the outlawed Batasuna was "complement and support" the action of ETA. Numerous explanations
Since the band issued its statement by declaring a general ceasefire permanent and verifiable by the international community, the Government have not hidden their desire to publicly convey his impressions to avoid showing signs of stagnation and with the intention of leading a united response by all democratic forces.
In fact, unlike the band's previous pronouncements on the day of release, Rubalcaba called a news conference without taking questions, "justified in" expectations. "
In this regard, the Government's position in the international community agrees with that initial assessment in which the vice president said the ETA ceasefire is not the news that English society "wants" because the terrorist band, with "arrogance", wants to "maintain its care" and get a "price" policy. "The only statement that we read of the terrorist group is one in which ETA to declare and make it irreversible and definitive manner," he said.
