Spain: ETA Calls Cease-fire, Political Parties Skeptical

The Basque separatist group ETA declared a cease-fire Sept. 5, but the Basque regional government and others were skeptical that the announcement would mean the end of the group’s violence. Other cease-fires have come and gone, but this one may be different because ETA’s political allies have called for the group to renounce violence, allow international observers to monitor the cease-fire and follow the political process in its quest for an independent homeland. Whether ETA formally ends its attacks on the state, even a temporary cessation is good news for Spaniards and visitors.
