Spain...a “colony” of the “French Empire” ? To “eventually gain its independence” in 2008 ?

Funny the article says nothing of the Franco-Spanish agreement to let Spain’s GAL operate in France against the ETA, or of the cooperation between the police forces of both countries that has begun in the mid-1980s and continues to this day (the French police in my hometown has raided a ETA safehouse no longer than two weeks ago, for example).

The GAL was a state terror group created by the Socialist government in order to attack ETA's members in France, since the French government did nothing to stop them. It was disbanded in the late 1980's and its members, even a former Interior Minister, judged and jailed.

Twenty years later, France has not stop ETA's operations in its soil yet.

Because ETA is the way used by the French synarchists to interfere in Spanish issues.
