"Mr President, ETA has acknowledged that its terrorism has failed, and has brought it to an end. In these happy days, let us remember that the Basque people never accepted killings in our name. We held the first demonstration against ETA terrorism on 28 October 1978. The majority opinion of the Basque people has always been: no to ETA.
Today, in better circumstances than last time, I am repeating the request I made on 15 June 2010 for a PEACE programme for the Basque Country. We need help. This would make it easier to strengthen peace, improve coexistence, work towards reconciliation and rely on our memories to make sure that mistakes are not repeated, and to put right the consequences of these mistakes.
Peace starts by making amends for the victims’ suffering, recognising their civic courage, their rejection of revenge. We owe them justice, solidarity and respect. For this reason, I propose to you right now that we change the symbol of however many minutes’ silence and pain for the vibrant, supportive and hopeful sound of the applause that they deserve."@en1
