Adams: Spain must 'grasp opportunity' presented by ETA ceasefire





Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams has urged the Spanish government "to grasp the opportunity" of ETA's ceasefire announcement.

The Basque separatist group has released a video announcing a ceasefire.

In the clip released to Basque TV, members of the group say they want to hold talks on independence with the Spanish government.

Mr Adams said: "I welcome the announcement made today by ETA to pursue Basque independence through peaceful and democratic means.

"This is a significant statement and has the potential to bring about a permanent end to the long-running conflict in the Basque country.

"It is now vital that the Spanish government respond positively and grasp the opportunity to advance a peace process presented by today’s announcement and quickly establish inclusive political negotiations."
