Take into account that ETA did colaborate in the 3/11 coup: the Socialist government cannot let ETA fall.
Moreover, ETA's cash, obtained through extortion, is sacred, even for the
Wall Street Journal, which has supported the
peace process, that is, the surrendering process to let the Basque nationalists get more privileges over the Spanish citizens.
The collaboration between the Socialists
and their ETA allies continue. This is known in Spain as the Faisan case (being
El Faisan the name of the bar in Irun where ETA's extortion was paid), already blamed on vicepresident Rubalcaba in this
news.
