"Thank you, Ms in’t Veld, for your work. We need specific assistance for victims. We have to know what we spend on fighting terrorism, what impact that work has on everyone’s freedoms and how much it costs in human, social, economic and political terms. We owe that transparency to the citizens of Europe if we want to generate trust and consensus. In my country, terrorism has killed almost 900 people and that is an unjustifiable cost in lives, in sorrow. Some thought, moreover, that they were killing in our name and we lived under guard while they accused us of collaborating with ETA. Political prejudices prevented the Basque police from participating in Schengen and that has cost lives. They even closed down a newspaper unjustly and our Parliament has lost legitimacy because some rulings facilitated absolute majorities to those who did not have them at the ballot boxes. Separatism and the defence of the right to self-determination are legitimate ideas. What is dangerous is ETA, which fortunately is coming to an end. It is an expression of violent extremism like others; in order to repress it they must be arrested but in addition we must strengthen democracy with debate, transparency and more respect for the people."@en1
