The Basque Country and ETA | DW Documentary
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 авг 2019
- The Basque terrorist organization ETA is a thing of the past. But be they behind bars or walking around in freedom, the treatment of former ETA members is controversial and divisive.
ETA waged a violent struggle for an independent Basque country for over 50 years, killing more than 800 people in the process before finally disbanding in May 2018. But what has become of ETA’s former members and supporters now that it no longer exists? Two hundred and twenty one of them are currently still in prisons across Spain and their families are demanding their transfer to jails in the Basque Country itself. But that would only be the first stage: They are also calling for their release in the foreseeable future. But many victims of ETA violence are against any relaxation of prison conditions even if the organization is now defunct. At the same time, however, more and more prisoners are returning to society after serving their sentences. In the Basque Country, with its nearly 2.2 million inhabitants, they often end up living next door to people who suffered in ETA’s terror campaign. This documentary poses the question: What future peaceful coexistence?

That guy being jailed and can still find girl, what is your excuse?
My excuse is i have no money....and without money, women want nothing to do with one!
Allon Mielke do you think the guy in jail has money? Aside from perhaps receiving some donations he produces nothing, zero!
Here in Spain, prisoneers gets a pension when they leave
The man who was jailed was a total chad and risked his life for something he believes in. He's passionate about something and of course that passion is going to attract someone with the same ideals.
@@navarrenavarre 😛
I am from Cantabria, the region that is next to the Basque country, I know the situation, ETA has killed a friend of my parents and has planted two bombs in my town, I am in favor of ETA prisoners returning to the Basque country, ETA no longer exists. But the policy of dispersing the prisoners was not done for revenge, the terrorists continued to control the organization from the jails, that's why they were dispersed, it was not for revenge
if the Castilians stayed away from its neighbours no one would of died
Same analogy that works too, "if the wife didn't get in the way of her husband's fist, she would not have gotten hurt" .
@@delorianshangout3220 tribalism ended with the creation of the European Union, get over the childish and prehistoric dinosaur sectarianism and join the 21st century, in it all regions can prosper and coexist, oh! and cultural diversity is a thing in this century, nobody oppresses diversity anymore, nor have they for the last 30 years in Europe... 😉
@@delorianshangout3220 the children who died were they to blame? were the tourists to blame? the police officers? firefighters? was the people who passed by to blame? It is NOT the fault of those of high power if they fight that they kill themselves if they want but not innocent people
Santander?
I agree these prisoners who murdered should be released, just as soon as their innocent victims come back to life and return to their families.
A legitimate question, do you have any idea what Franco and Spain as a whole did to the Basque people?
@@ferpinguG Wow, firing with shut up to someone instead of intelligent conversation. Sounds like your family may have taken part in the torture of the Basque people. Franco's reign ended in 75 and a Coup D'etat occured in 81 because the military wanted to go after the Basque people. In that timeframe Basques were arrested for merely singing Basque songs. What about the GAL death squads Spain formed? Real democratic right? Shall I go on or do you want to remain ignorant to the facts and ignore me?
@@ferpinguG You contradict your own statements. The ETA was formed PRIOR to the theory of the Democracy being started in 76. ETA voluntarily disbanded while the current Democracy has been in place showing they want true Democracy not to destroy it. Your comment is ignorant and makes no sense just like your disdain for the Basque people. "Your Democracy" banned a political party in 2003. Something fascists do. They also jailed journalists and got rid of the only Basque newspaper in the same year. Also a thing fascists do and the court dismissed those cases 7 years later. 7 years those innocent journalists will never get back. Just like in 98 when they banned a Basque paper which 11 years later was dismissed.
So go ahead and tell yourself you are the "most Democratic country" when you do that to opposing political groups and newspapers. You must love your propaganda pieces when they are put out.
@Asier Linazasoro You're dreaming.
@@avt3401 Honestamente, si pudiese yo votaría por echarlos. Si quieren independencia, que se vayan, a tomar por culo, y con ellos toda la manada de asesinos que tienen por ahí. Eso si, les cerramos los aranceles, y que se vayan a vender sus productos a francia si quieren, a españa que no vengan intentando vender nada. A ver cuanto puto tiempo sobreviven estando fuera de la unión europea, con una población de un millon de habitantes, sin poder vender al resto de españa y con una tasa de natalidad del 0.4. Sin ser capaces de competir por sueldos nisiquiera. Ni 6 meses duran antes de estarse muriendo de hambre.
Y nosotros estariamos exactamente igual. La situación no es la misma que con Cataluña, en la cual si se independizan nos vamos los dos a la mierda economicamente. Si echamos al pais vasco, simplemente quitamos el acceso a toda empresa vasca y la damos la cota de mercado a empresas españolas, y no perdemos absolutamente nada. Se acabó la mierda esta de ir robando al fisco a traves de los fueros mientras apoyan a asesina-niños.
Gora Euskadi! My Grandparents were forced to leave their homeland through the Genocidal acts of Franco. There is a reason ETA existed.
ETA no longer exists....but murdered people are still dead...
@@avt3401 Rot in jail for what purpose? To satisfy your need for vengeance? How does this better society?
@COASTA LOECSTA indeed
Within the Spanish state Spanish nationalism was the ideology that caused the most deaths and had decades of dictatorship .. ETA emerged at that time ..
ETA suffered the consequences of using terrorism with the justice, many victims of state terrorism were not have or have less judicial consequences
@@samsmith3025 Rotten in jail because, once they eventually get out of prison, they will continue spreading their culture of hatred against the other half of Basques, those who are not nationalists, and obviously against the rest of Spain and the rest of the Spanish people.
What about showing the day to day life of those who lost family members that they won't see ever again? or what about showing the day to day life of those who have been injured forever? I'm basque and grew up when they were still killing and injuring innocent people just because they thought and felt different to them. Till this day it's a "dictatorship" as you are not free to express your ideas in public. This documentary is somewhat bias, I really dislike it and makes me weary of the other documentaries that DW make.
What made them got killed?
@@HolahkuTaigiTWFormosanDiplomat Speaking their mind about not being in favor of independence, or just speaking against violence, or being members of a non independentist political party, judges, university teachers, members of the security forces, or children of members of security forces,... or simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time. For a long time it was car bombs, indiscriminate killings by making cars explode not caring who would be killed or injuried, years later execution style bullet in the back of the head was the peferred method but also placing explosives at bars, gas stations, train tracks, etc... with the aim of causing fear in the population.
The ETA are evil. They murdered civilians.
@@HolahkuTaigiTWFormosanDiplomat the eternal struggle between unionists and separatists; these are virtually identical in any society.
@@pplayer666 the eternal struggel between terrorists and non terrorist. You can be an independentist without killing people.
I know that generally a narrator has to be dispassionate, however 8:56 did make me laugh. He really captured the heightened emotion of the scene.
For me the highlight was 8:35 solid gold delivery of the translated lines!
Basque isn’t just Spanish but there’s also French Basque Country.
They also had ETA?
Basque is it's own, wheter in Spain or France. They are their own.
@@partylikeholland Thats why most people of País Vasco want to be Spanish (and in the French side they must be even more)
@@juliusraben3526 No, because the french state has eliminated all minority cultures.
Kinda funny don't you think? Basque only exists today because the spanish kings gave them autonomy and self rule for centuries, while at the same time the french state was doing its best to utterly exterminate basque identity, which they succeed at. Yet, after one dictatorship where the dictator killed spaniards from everywhere, and which had the lowest level of repression in the basque country, the ETA extremists started calling all other spaniards "los españoles", different from us, and started violently murdering until they had killed more than 800 people, including 30 children, and more than half of those 800, being random civilians.
And in France nothing happened, because the basque identity was extinguished, yet apparently it is Spain that is the bad guy? Isn't that interesting?
@@partylikeholland Nope, they are French. Whatever you think of those "vascos" on the other side, they're French first and foremost. They have assimilated and are happy with their French identity. The Gascons too. Aquitaine or Akitania well, we all know that's Vasco - but those people are long gone, ancient history.
I'm living in Spain for 1 year now. I wouldn't have imagined how profoundly these conflicts in Pais Vasco and Catalunya are. And I thought Germany would have problems with its identity! Anyways, what I learned so far: There are no easy answers and foreigners shouldn't judge unless they really know what's going on.
Germany doesn't allow for as much regional self-governance or parties who go against the constitution, that is why you haven't reached the level of "identity crisis" Spain is going through at the moment. In Spain this "identity crisis" was practically non-existent in the 90's, you loosen the leash in Germany, give lots more regional self-governance, and you'll see how quick Bayern, Eastern Germany and Prussia claim regional independence in a heart beat, I say less than a decade, and Germany goes back to the pre-Bismarck period of "germanic tribes" ;)
seriously? ! .....whats there too confused about? ...theres gazziolion things in this world I'm pissed off about, but i don't go around blowing up innocent people and then complain my family has complications to come and visit me in prison.
Ive been living in Catalunya for 5 years now, fyi
Judge it simply.eta lost any argument the day they killed civilians including vasques
Well,in pais vasco there was an entire terrorist organization,but in Cataluña things are way less tense,mostly just a bunch of corrupt idiots who think that they problems will be solved just by having a stupid republic (sorry for bad english)
@@joshpayro4068 Common sense is rare nowadays.
Who came here after newjeans ETA teaser
Me
What a pity! you have to ride 15 hours to see your husband, the people your husband killed will never see their family members again.
if the Castilians weren't so power hungry maybe todays problems wouldn't be here
@@avt3401 Easy to judge when it isn’t your territory that’s occupied…
@@avt3401 their country belongs to another country :/
But you are right, they terrorized even their own.
The Basque region has full internal autonomy now with it's own government so they should be very happy, enjoying also all the benefits of being part of a major European country. These prisoners should serve their full sentences as any other person for such a crime.
@@delorianshangout3220 the victims were not to blame ... my grandfather and his companions had to serve in the eta catastrophes as policemen and they killed their companion a very young and good boy and miraculously they did not kill my grandfather
DW has good docus, this is not one of em. The problem could be the title. When i clicked it i was expecting a general docu about the issues between spain and the basque trough history. Not something about the aftermath in present day.
The docu says ETA killed around 800 people, okay, why ? Just having a bad day that its mention it so casually? Maybe they says something about it, but its not enough to qualify as "documentary" worthy. Maybe if you think MTV has quality shows you also think this good.
And then the woman they follow. Sorry, but that angle didnt made it work for me. Because... what does she tell what isnt obvious? Except for marrying a guy in jail, she got to learn through letters(didnt expected that). Or maybe thats just the most exciting basque wive they could find..... this docu also tries to paint the guy in jail as innocent. Like, he only set a "bank machine" on fire in a riot and the law framed him for having ties to ETA.
Im presented with nothing to become sympathetic to ETA (or their causes). Yeah, sure, present day struggles and spain just bullies them.
Watched 19 mins, cannot imagine the last 6 will turn everything around (spent some time editing my comment, finished docu, prediction was correct).
Maybe not such a general title when the subject is very specific (if i google ETA, this story wont be dominating the presented information i suppose)
I also can be less salty, thats correct.
The ETA are evil. They murdered civilians.
@@XtreemMetalManRedToTheBone yeah... it are dark pages, like IRA and RAF (Rote Armee Fraktion).
Wanted to know something about that (im Dutch) and was dissapointed to see this
@@juliusraben3526 Watching this video intrigued me. I researched and found out what Spain and Franco did to these people. It took all of 5 minutes to find the information. Not everyone wants to be enlightened, but if you seek the facts they are out there. Not all of the Basque tortured, killed and imprisoned by Spain were terrorists.
@@frederickorcutt9112 but.... what aspect intrigued you then? This is more a prison love story wich coincedentally is connected to ETA.
And yes it took 5 minutes of research, completely true. And all that information you found in 5mins, what of it came back in in this documentary? A question like "what is the origin of the problem" is quite common in documentaries, wouldnt you say?
How lightly they speak about that guy a few times and why he is in prison, its allmost like he was falsely imprisoned?
If this docu (or that woman) wants my empathy, i need more. She didnt knew the guy before prison... so, how is she (or the ETA question) mistreated? When the docu tells you how many have died, its allmost like it happens everyday and needs no further explanation.
If you marry a person in a wheelchair, you also know that it brings complications, right?
So whats the point of this docu exactly?
My wife is Guatemalan and said the ETA are terrorists from what they saw in the news in her country. She didn't know about Franco and the torture and unlawful arrests of Basques that occurred. So I was intrigued that there was a flip side that even she didn't know about. Guatemalans for obvious reason follow Spain in many aspects. This docu shows the side that the Spanish government stopped from getting out. They censored media from Basque Country. I don't feel for that women specifically. However from knowing some history of the Kurdish people and knowing their suppression as well as attempted genocide (still ongoing), it leads me to believe the Basques are in a similar boat with how Franco kidnapped and beat them. That info is accessible by simply typing "franco Basques." It goes into detail about several European countries abandoning trade and political ties with Spain for their treatment of the Basques. I back the violent reaction of anyone who watches their priests dragged from church and beaten for 6 days. Or their friends and family dragged from their home or a bar and beaten for days without probable cause.
A bit of background on who ETA were , and what there cause was , before 6 min in wouldn't have gone awry . Are we to feel sympathy for the long travel of someone who chose a relationship with someone already incarcerated so far away? This is an unusually poor documentary . All frenetically edited disjointed fluff , and no exploration of the topic .
But a people with a different language and culture surely should have a choice to govern themselves
R Smith I agree.
@@zealmediaproductions844 but not if they kill 800 people
back in 1986 me and my friends went skinny dipping on the beach around 2am in spain , cops came guns drawn they thought we were ETA planting bombs on the beach
90% of ppl in these comments just say the ppl who killed should rot in jail but don’t understand why eta was made in the first place 🤔
rightttt, you know cuz the reason behind its creation definently justifies killing civilians, children and just innocent people in general, i get it A leads to B. Those assholes should rot in jail until their last day
Yeah, ETA was formed during the Dystopia which was Franco's dictatorship to put an end to it, which they succeed with the murder of Carrero Blanco, who would have kept the dictatorship alive.
Violence back then was the only way to act, sadly, bc democracy didn't exist with Franco
@irishboy06 and Franco was needed to preserve and restore Spain in the midst of a Civil War. Otherwise, it would have been divided into many pieces.
We need to do more documentaries about the Baader Meinhoff people in jail in Germany DW...
From a Northern Ireland perspective, freeing political prisoners was a necessary part of the peace process and thankfully that peace has lasted over 20 years.
I think the key factor is the will of society - ppl had enough because there were only losers of that madness.
Btw. Is it also necessary to put into jail at least one paratrooper responsible for crimes in L'Derry on the '70s?
They are not political prisioner, thay are assasins
No many lessons can come from a region/country with segregated communities to avoid them enter in conflict. Btw, Would you like to have your parents' killer next door without having served full sentence for it? Or your son and doughter's killers?
There are no political prisoners in Spain. They are in jail because of collaborating with or belonging to ETA.
soy mexicano, una parte de mi familia emigró de Navarra a finales del 1600 hacia el centro-norte de México. Así que tengo ancestros vascos, pero da una tremenda flojera este conflicto. Ya déjense de joder y hay que vivir en paz.

Sooo... These individuals terrorized and killed entire communities and we're supposed to feel sorry for them? I'm confused. What is this?
Their communities were also terrorized by the government, they also killed a bunch of them, especially during the Franco dictatorship, but none of those guys went to jail, they just got a bullet to the head when ETA found them, so if you want don't feel bad for anyone.
It is not that simple
@@Xergecuz I'm still confused and have no clue as to what this is about but alright.
Two wrongs don't make right, kinda hard to be sympathetic.
It is a century conflict with massive killing on both side for taking control on the spanish side and keeping a rich and very old culture on the basque side
Pretty much like all the conflict around the world when you think about it
Keep looking documentary about basque civilization for more understanding its worth it 👍
Warum war der Beitrag im Gegensatz zu denen der anderen Öffentlich-rechtlichen mit Werbung?
DW is in a different legal situation
Perpetrators should ask for public forgiveness to the victims of their crimes.
Yeah, that's right! The spanish goverment should ask for public gorgiveness to the víctims of their crimes.
The ETA are evil. They murdered civilians.
@@XtreemMetalManRedToTheBone if murdering civillians is the measure of evil, the united states makes satan himself cringe
They don't believe they were wrong, they will never do that.
Do you even know the history of Spain?
As if ETA just magically popped out of a hat. The govt of Espana has much to answer for as ETA does. Look at what is happening in Catalonia. Meanwhile the people of Spain continue to suffer from the political situation and at the hands of each other. It breaks my heart
What a stupid and indecent statement! So, if you do someone wrong in life, it is not your fault, but someone others' because they caused that reaction on you, right? Wow man, that is believing in personal responsability! Typical leftist, unfortunately! - And as to the subject here, Spain's main fault was (and still is) being too kind and benevolent towards the nationalists like when Spain created regional Parliaments and Goverments to try to satisfy nationalists and calm them down. Instead, they did not only say as much as thank you, but managed to climb within those new Administrations and used their powers (specially schools... and public televisions) to spread their nationalist ideology of hatred against Spain and the all too generous Spanish people.
who here from newjeans?
Me I was very curious how the company didn't change the names of the characters too
I am from Georgia, always felt strong connection with the Basque people, and their culture, feels like we are distant relations
You married a criminal, what is she talking about?! lol 😂
Hello very one your day will come cheers from Dublin 🇮🇪🏴☠️👍
Com on, people !!! The killer is a killer, for any reason, political or personal hate , and should go to jail forever , because if kill someone once, you will kill again !!! Just put yourself in the place of the victim , how would you feel ,if your mother, sister, brother ,or your child would be killed ??? Would you be happy to loose your family, or sad ??? Think this, before you do something irreversible ,it may stop the tragedy !!! I wish peace to both sides !!! Only love can save the WORLD ❤️🌹💕!!!

At great and interesting people
Thanks dear. Much appreciated
Very surreal watching this while wondering why I've never heard of the group ETA until today. I've lived in the U.S. for many years. ETA in English always translates to "estimated time of arrival" rather than a Basque separatist group. And the only separatist movement from Spain I've ever heard of was the Catalon's. And RUclips also never recommended me any docs or news vids about ETA all these years. I totally found out about this whole ETA Basque independence thing by accident while doing some unrelated internet research.
I live and grew up in the USA and I've heard of them. How old are you?
@eriksonyw: did you just arrive on the intergalactic express from Alpha Centauri?
@@henriknielsen1662 Haha, I think it's because the media here in the U.S. only wanna tell us about how stable and prosperous the Basque region is. There is probably some hidden politics within...
Because here we are ethnocentric
Wow the translations in this video are pretty far off...on purpose?
Estimated time of arrival?
Newjeans need watching that
ETA would have been much more needed back in Bronze Age, when the “Eastern” Bell Beakers arrived (and somehow replaced 90% of the Y-haplogroups by R1b)
It's tough everywhere being a certain blood type. God be with you
I have no sympathy for terrorists.
But that baby is so cute!!
He loves his milk....he makes cute "bbbbth" sounds.
I just don't understand how Basques are persecuted: you have roads, food, houses....you can speak and learn your language!
I just don't understand!!
The ETA are evil. They murdered civilians.
Try researching what Franco did to them.
Because of what happened under Franco and also because the Spanish government restricts their right to self-determination.
@@TheSm1thers I think killing civilians is still over the top.
@@XtreemMetalManRedToTheBone Yeah but ultimately it's the fault of the Spanish and French governments. Desperate people will do desperate things if they think it'll guarantee their freedom.

Agur
Resistance is NOT wrong.
Fascist repression IS.
So what message is DW trying to convey here exactly?
"What message"? It's a documentary about former ETA members. Truly independent journalism shouldn't take sides or send some kind of "messages". It should just show you how things are without taking sides or giving it some kind of political angle. What information (message) you get out of it is up to you and your own head.
If they killed innocent people they must be in jail for atleast 25 years; I strongly believe.
And they did kill many innocent people.
Spanish killed more innocent people

Are you really comparing a giant island to a small region on a continent?

@our rights first how many streets in the world are named after loyalists? Us republicans are not bitter but the hatred is oozing out if you and your tribe, let go man, let's move forward x
@futility the modern or old? I can fully see your point from loyalist perspective but the modern day UVF mainly killed Catholic civilians who were not in anything! Btw Carson was a Dubliner! From the heart of the enemy as uvf would say! Also Billy wright could speak fluent Irish I read
@@jackietreehorn5561 do you really know anything about the history of the basques ..or are you only siding with them because of your own origins? i suggest that you go back to school and then come back on this channel and speak nonsense or educate yourself the basque people are clever and will not welcome your gibberish and this is not about catholics and protestants as both are roman catholic but a political vein that you obviously know very little about from linda in scotland

Honour & respect from IRELAND 🇮🇪 ☘ 🤝
Irish don't make comment about something you can't understand,Ireland was a kingdom but a country called Pais vasco never existed and anyway there no honor in a bunch of low criminals and terrorism is coward by description , so no dignity in shooting from the back and killing children,you should have some of your own medicine.IRA and ETA are rubbish inhuman bastards, death penalty now.
I remember when I was little in like 2009 or so I was watching tv with a friend and in the news they were speaking about them and a terrorist attack they did, I was scared of those masks
I understand it is hard on your children, they have had no choice.
You however decided to conceive and have children with a prisoner.
That's called choice...good luck for your husband and family in the future....

Virtually every country and territory has a people that have lost their culture, land and rights. Wars. Lost battles. Undersized populations.
well the distance of prisoners is not justified anymore if the organization is dead and unrest is over. the right of the children should also be taken into account.
No, they don’t you worthless, cowardly fuck! These dumb cunts fuck prisoners who are murderers. They should have been executed, but failing that they should spend their worthless lives in jail. The cost of their upkeep is only fair for such a useless nation that panders to criminals.
So dead that they have a political party called EH-BILDU that is in the congress
What ETA supporters won´t tell is that there is already a way for them to be sent closer to their families. They have to renounce violence, ETA membership and help solve the crimes. ETA stopped killing about 10 years ago, plenty of their crimes are yet to be solved.

This show is standing up side down. As journalist I can say that we see here just one side, but don't see why ETA members done all those attacks and murders. It's very one side and unfair video.
I don’t now how someone can side for terrorists. They had the Basque Country feared for decades. I am myself a basque but violence is not the way. My mum told me stories of her being a kid and my grandfather telling her as a kid not to pay ransom if ETA gets him
@@stanisillingarizti395 I never said someone has to promote violence and terrorism, but we have oneside story, and that makes this video unregular by journalistic standards.
What do you expect from western media?
How was the video one-sided? They interviewed people that were for and against Basque nationalism and ETA.
You can see how easily you get accused of terrorism apology when you point out a fact. There's little more to say.
What's your ETA? What's your ETA?

Who the hell would marry at jail and having children that's insane
Baffles me as well.
if you think of it why ETA was created? it seems Basque people are not happy with Spanish regime, propebbly all region may feel they are in jail. Basque should be separated a part from spain and not to stay with the force in country they are not part of historically. UN court should looked in to this. Also Basque may have or need to have parallel government so they can start the court case of separation. Matter of fact why some countries have another ethnical group where they tend to be in the shadow of the big er countries with No freedom of their own voice and we never here from them and sadently they comes up in this terrors attacks in news , where from the pressure a lot of innocent people get killed. All ethnicities who live in another countries as province or territory where are autochthonous, ancient historically and not happy with lawes of country thaier are in they should be free. ETA is created from struggle and wanting freedom.
lmagine the cruelty colonial people when through ..... whatever happened in europe was like being on a vacation
They don't want freedom the just want communism

Nationalists in Spain are still obsessed with Franco, the dictator who died 45 years ago. Particularly current nationalist teenagers who ironically never saw, met or experienced Franco's regime. This is the evidence of nationalist indoctrination in schools and public televisions... in some Spanish regions: Basque country, Catalonia, Galicia, Balearic Islands and Valencia region, particularly. Regional spanish kids and educational institutions stand out for their poor performance and skills and their rich leftist fanatism against the heart of Spain whose kids, ironically have the highest permormance and achievemt in school, even better than most european countries according to Pisa results. Whereas in the Basque country, for all the money, the kids there achieve very poorly, except at knowing the names of their terrorists heroes!
What the hell is the ``heart of Spain´´?
Menudo montón de ponzoña te acabas de inventar.
I doubt that. There is an insularity about the region and the people fairly close knit. On the other hand, their Jesuit and Opus Dei Schools are excellent examples of middle class union and progression. They make do with whatever limits they set.
You can't compare Madrid with Bilbao anyway. Any Capital in Europe has a higher concentration of the Intelligentsia, be it journalists or researchers, so those Capital communities will succeed regardless. Bilbao however being a Provincial Capital enjoys the spoils of Key Biscay, and the immigration attracted. The middle and upper class in either place identify cogently with one another and work well with whatever structures raised.
As for the poor indoctrination bit to it, that's mindless radicalism for you. They keep em ignorant and tied to the social group.

The greatest acomplishment by the Spanish government was to grant fiscal autonomy to Euskadi. ETA disbandment is a result. I wish they did the same with Catalunya.
Sorry man, but you are wrong. Fiscal autonomy its been a Basque right centuries before ETA was founded. Catalunya had the chance to have the same fiscal autonomy after dictator Franco died, but they refussed.
I hope we all have fiscal autonomy in all regions of Spain. Then we will all be equal and basque feudal privileges will finish.

I strongly believe that PROVEN terrorists should be stripped of all human rights and detained indefinitely. No state, or system should be held accountable for torturing, executing or maltreating terrorists. They should be considered enemies of human species, not just "enemy combatants". On that note, I think Russia and China know best how to treat terrorists, and all countries should follow their lead on this matter.
How many of innocent people, children included, have been, and unfortunately will be, tortured and killed by the states all over the world and through the history? What the victims should do to their rulers and their subordinates, and their supporters. They still bombing, destroying entire countries. The state is not the country and is not the people. You, and many, many like you, seem to ignore this truth and still applauding those parasitic criminals. And that's why crimes against humanity still commited every given day on this earth. Thanks to your collaboration. Btw what ETA wants is socialist communist totalitarian state, just like your admired china. Try to get some information about the cultural revolution, probably the biggest genocide in history
Well, start with the Franco regime personnel who committed terror attacks on the Basque people first.
@@giqwaju3691 yes and no one in Spain except the snobs and mentally ill respects Franco or fascism, so why tf would they start killing random civilians when those civilians tried to free all of Iberia except Portugal from fascist rule? Eventhough they lost the civil war at least they tried, ETA could have bombed fascist politicians instead of innocents, specially when those innocents were also against the franquist rule.
Why some regions in Spain wants their independence so much? Why this happens in Spain, but not in France or Germany?
Because france dont even let basques to be euskera an oficial languaje and they dont even recognize it so yeah of course people wont want the independience if there is not any reasons to want it
Let me explain: Spain is a country of numerous peoples. You have Galicians (who speak a language almost exactly equal as mine), Catalans (who are a distinct group with their own culture, identity and a language closer to franco-provençal) and the Basques (who existed even prior the roman empire, speak a language who is not even related to the indo-european languages and survided untill today). So you see, maintain all this peoples under one flag isn't easy. They tried to turn my country on another province of Spain twice and it almost worked for the second time, but it was a faliure after 60 years of ocupation. France isn't as problematic as Spain because since the france revolution they have crushed the non franco speakers so hard that after centuries its dificult to make even a revival, (Edit: I guess If Spain did the same thing today it would probably be condemned by the UN and the Amnisty International) but there are still some nationalists in Brittany, for example.
@@freechinastopuighurgenocid8716 explain
i think basques dont want be independent,
They want to live under Spain
but maintaining its autonomy , language and identity
but the problem is that Spain always was oppressive and evil with them from a long time
almost the same happens with catalunya
@@marvinsilverman4394 Exactly! My country formed a union with Spain for 80 years and it didn't work because they tried to opress us and castelhanize us, there is why my country still exists to this day, because the spanish government didn't respected our institutions nor our language or culture amd the same way they didn't respected the portuguese institutions, they don't respect other historic institutions and forget that Spain is not only made up of castillians and that the constant eforts to erase an entire people and a culture from history has one name: Genocide! if the basques, or the catalans, or even the galicians want be independent from Madrid, they have the right to do so it is one of the fundamental human rights of the UN constitution! There is a saying in my country wich we still keep saying since our revolution wich ended up the longest autoritarian regime in Europe: "O povo é quem mais ordena" - "The people is who most order". If Spain does not respectits historical peoples and look at them as retards, then they have the right for independance if they don't trust anymore in the Spanish government.
Spain colonised the Basque country and repressed its culture for centuries. And Spaniards are shocked that this led to violent resistance?
u good?
Nice documentary
I dont get this....Spain is occupying a land that has nothing to do with them. And they are surprised that people try to be free from them.
It’s laughable that these ETA prisoners think they shouldn’t be in jail just because they’re renounced their association regardless of the crimes. The way I see it they should be doing 20 yrs minimum
great documentary, thank you. im not really on any side as i don't know what happened, just to say that the basque people are very nice and kind and it does seem harsh on the prisoners family, with the good friday agreement here and i think israel as well gives better access to prisoners, then i do get the view of the people who have lost loved ones.
It was done so they couldn't still organize the terrorist group within a jail and tell orders to the others. I agree that now that it's over tehy should be sent back to their local jails but they should be watched over
How can a convicted killer be allowed to father children while in prison 🤔
Conjugal visits. Happens all the time in many countries.
Even Ted Bundy fathered a child while on death row. Did it on the sly, however.
Did Spain promise to renounce violent to Euskera?
@FerChu It has had ant It has in a certain way. He is not missinformed.
Spain acts against international and EU law knowingly by placing the political prisoners outside of the Basque country and far away from their familymembers.
Intresting group of people
Very entertaining Documentary as well
Useless efforts trying to humanise terrorists. This is the end of my subscription to this channel
Well said. I have done the same
If independence or at least a referendum was given, there would be no need to turn towards terrorism. The terrorism is the fault of the Spanish and French governments.
@@TheSm1thers Doesn't justify killing innocent people to force an independence. I can agree that French, Spanish, and many governments are partially responsible, but I still can't support the use of violence against civilians by separatists or militias.
Then what should we do them ?
@@mfatihbilhaq4977 Sorry I don't understand your question. But as I said, nothing justifies the killing of civilians to force an independence. It's just an act of cowardice.
Watching this makes it easier to understand el Caudillo's heavy-handed approach to governing.
First the heavy hand came but the basque instead of letting themselves get hit they hit back
I think u guys didn't understand how this worked, ur Spanish? Ur dead, u don't want violence to happen? Ur dead, u can't pay the money they ask for to buy weapons? Ur dead. Is really beautiful to see a man going back to his family but that won't happen to 800 person who were killed by people like him
