Head of Basque government hails 'important day' as ETA ends armed fight

(3 May 2018) ETA "has stopped disturbing us forever," the head of the regional government said following the Basque separatist group's announcement of its its dissolution. Inigo Urkullu spoke for the first time after the announcement while attending an unrelated sporting award ceremony for athletes with disabilities in Bilbao on Thursday evening. "Our first thought goes to the victims, victims that should have never been caused," he said. Hours earlier ETA had said in an open letter to the Basque people that its journey and political activities had ended. Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy as well as Spain's Association of Terror Victims called the disbanding of group propaganda. Rajoy vowed to carry on prosecuting the militants in the Basque separatist organization. ETA killed more than 850 people in its six decades of existence.
