No impunity for ETA after its dissolution: Rajoy
Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said there would be no impunity for ETA and the government would still track down former militants despite the Basque separatist group ETA's announcement on Thursday (May 3) it had completely dismantled and ended all its activity.
The group announced the end of its 50-year campaign of violence across Spain in which it killed about 850 people.
In a letter read out at the headquarters of a Geneva-based conflict resolution group, ETA, founded to fight for an independent state in northern Spain and southern France, said its journey had ended.
ETA announced its decision to end attacks in 2011 and in 2017 it handed over 3.5 tonnes of weapons, bringing Western Europe's last major militant campaign to a close.
Rajoy made clear that his government considered ETA as nothing more than criminals nobody had to thank.
