The Future of ETA

Basque Country, SPAIN / BBC World Service Radio

The Basque separatist group Eta, which has waged a 41-year campaign for an independent homeland, has suffered a series of setbacks in recent months.

In October a man alleged to be one of Eta's political leaders was arrested in France, and this week more than 30 members of a youth group with alleged links to the organisation were also detained.

And now, for the first time in more than three decades, the Basque Country is governed by a non-nationalist coalition, determined to stamp out Eta's operations.

So what does this mean for the future of a group believed to be responsible for more than 800 killings?

Ramon Goni reports from Eta's heartland in northern Spain.
