Dos miradas desde Irlanda a la situación del ¿Proceso de Paz? vasco

Hacía algún tiempo que no veíamos en el diario Irish Times información sobre la situación en la que se encuentra el Proceso de Paz en Euskadi. Este diario siempre ha seguido con gran interés, e incluso con implicación, todo lo relacionado con el camino seguido por los vascos para alcanzar el final de la violencia, incluyendo claras críticas a la lentitud con la que ETA, es su momento, decidió renunciar al uso de la violencia.

Ahora ven, sin duda con preocupación, cómo el Proceso de Paz está atascado o, simplemente, no parece existir. Preguntándose sobre la posibilidades reales que existen de que parte de la organización terrorista decida volver a usar la violencia.  Traemos aquí dos reflexiones publicadas en este diario: una de Guy Hedgecoe y otra de  Paddy Woodworth sobre la situación actual. Ambas aparecieron publicadas a mediados del mes de junio.

The previous day she had met two irate Irish women in the old quarter of San Sebastian. They had two questions that it pained her to answer.

Signs of chill in Basque region’s climate of peace

It is now more than 18 months since terrorist group Eta announced the “definitive end” of its armed campaign for an independent Basque state, in what was widely seen as a historic move. But news coming out of the Basque Country in recent weeks has often seemed to contradict the notion that the region in northern Spain has returned to peace and normality after four decades of violence. On May 30th, Basque nationalist labour unions staged a strike across the region against spending cuts, during which there was a handful of violent incidents that recalled the kale borroka, or pro-independence street violence of Eta’s heyday.
