"Madam President, ‘definitive ceasefire’: two simple words that we have spent so long waiting for. There have been too many murders, too many kidnappings, too many people injured, bombs, threats, insults and town halls burnt down, and too often we have had to bear all this alone, misunderstood, scarred, discriminated against, ignored and sometimes forgotten.
However, we withstood it, because we knew that we were going to win. We knew that one day, we would bring ETA to an end, that terrorism would never achieve anything. They alone have been responsible for these 50 years of terrorism, which have prevented the Basque Country from living in peace and freedom, so we owe nothing either to ETA or to those who supported them. However, we owe a great deal to all those who, in the face of tragedy, stayed in the Basque Country and spoke out for freedom.
We have experienced a rollercoaster of emotions over recent days. The tranquillity of knowing we will not receive any more threats is mixed with the pride of knowing that we did the right thing and, above all, our memories of the victims. Their memory will serve to ensure that this never happens again."@en1
