The Case of Eta
Cátedra de Economía del Terrorismo UNIVERSIDAD COMPLUTENSE DE MADRID Facultad de Ciencias Económicas y Empresariales DISMANTLING TERRORIST ’S ECONOMICS : THE CASE OF ETA MIKEL BUESA* and THOMAS BAUMERT** *Professor at the Universidad Complutense of Madrid. **Professor at the Catholic University of Valencia Documento de Trabajo, nº 11 – Enero, 2012 ABSTRACT This article aims to analyze the sources of terrorist financing for the case of the Basque terrorist organization ETA. It takes into account the network of entities that, under the leadership and oversight of ETA, have developed the political, economic, cultural, support and propaganda agenda of their terrorist project. The study focuses in particular on the periods 1993-2002 and 2003-2010, in order to observe the changes in the financing of terrorism after the outlawing of Batasuna , ETA's political wing. The results show the significant role of public subsidies in finance the terrorist network. It also proves that the outlawing of Batasuna caused a major change in that funding, especially due to the difficulty that since 2002, the ETA related organizations had to confront to obtain subsidies from the Basque Government and other public authorities. Keywords: Financing of terrorism. ETA. Basque Country. Spain. DESARMANDO LA ECONOMÍA DEL TERRORISMO: EL CASO DE ETA RESUMEN Este artículo tiene por objeto el análisis de las fuentes de financiación del terrorismo a partir del caso de la organización terrorista vasca ETA. Para ello se tiene en cuenta la red de entidades que, bajo el liderazgo y la supervisión de ETA, desarrollan las actividades políticas, económicas, culturales, de propaganda y asistenciales en las que se materializa el proyecto terrorista. -

In the Basque Country, 1895 marked the birth of the Partido Nacionalista Vasco (Basque Nationalist Party), concurrent with the development of the cultural nationalist movement known as the ‘Gaelic revival’ in pre-revolutionary Ireland. In 1939, the Spanish Civil War ended with the destruction of the Spanish Second Republic, plunging Basque nationalism into decades of intense persecution. Conversely, at this same time, Irish nationalist aspirations were realized to an unprecedented degree during the ‘republicanization’ of the Irish Free State under Irish leader Éamon de Valera. -

Female Improvisational Poets: Challenges and Achievements in the Twentieth Century
FEMALE .... improvisational - ,I: t -,· POETS ...~1 Challenges and Achievements in the Twentieth Century In December 2009, 14,500 people met at the Bilbao Exhibi tion Centre in the Basque Country to attend an improvised poetry contest.Forty-four poets took part in the 2009 literary tournament, and eight of them made it to the final. After a long day of literary competition, Maialen Lujanbio won and received the award: a big black txapela or Basque beret. That day the Basques achieved a triple triumph. First, thou sands of people had gathered for an entire day to follow a lite rary contest, and many more had attended the event via the web all over the world. Second, all these people had followed this event entirely in Basque, a language that had been prohi bited for decades during the harsh years of the Francoist dic tatorship.And third, Lujanbio had become the first woman to win the championship in the history of the Basques. After being crowned with the txapela, Lujanbio stepped up to the microphone and sung a bertso or improvised poem refe rring to the struggle of the Basques for their language and the struggle of Basque women for their rights. It was a unique moment in the history of an ancient nation that counts its past in tens of millennia: I remember the laundry that grandmothers of earlier times carried on the cushion [ on their heads J I remember the grandmother of old times and today's mothers and daughters.... • pr ..

This is Basque schools when they are subjected to five sets of by no means the only example of the use of a school system regulations on the use of the Basque language in different to force an alien culture on people. In the United Kingdom, parts of Euskal Herria. Instead of an education system that for exlample, Gaelic, Scots Gaelic and other Celtic differentiates between various language models, what is languages were excluded from the public school system; in needed is a school system that recognises the right of all Belgium, Flemish (Dutch) did not receive proper treatment Basque children to be educated in Basque and provides the in public education until Belgium became a federal kingdom necessary means to achieve this. As in Finland, Quebec or (in 1932, in Flanders, there were 108 public schools and 101 Belgium, so in Euskal Herria too it should be a given that all private schools, all of which only taught French) (Rodriguez, future university graduates must know the national language.

Vetoes and Barriers to Underground Music: the Basque Case David Mota Zurdo · [email protected] UNIVERSIDAD ISABEL I Recibido: 15/10/2018 Aceptado: 17/11/2018 Resumen En el presente artículo se analiza la trayectoria del grupo musical vasco Berri Txarrak en el contexto under- ground español. Se cruza con las opiniones vertidas por los medios de comunicación generalistas y se presta especial atención a los medios coercitivos que ha utilizado el aparato punitivo del Estado para desde enton- ces sancionar ciertas expresiones culturales en detrimento de otras durante la etapa democrática. Todo ello, se aborda desde una perspectiva metodológica descriptiva del contexto y analítica del discurso y busca problema- tizar la cuestión de los límites de la libertad de expresión, estableciendo nexos pasado-presente, que tanto es- tán afectando a día de hoy al medio cultural español. Palabras clave: Música underground, España, Berri Txarrak, Libertad de expresión, Censura. Abstract This article analizes the trajectory of Berri Txarrak —the Basque Musical Group— in the Spanish under- ground’s framework. It intersects with the opinions expressed by the generalist Media and special attention is paid to the coercive means that the State’s punitive apparatus has used since then to penalise certain cultural expressions to the detriment of others during the democratic period. All this is approached from the method- ological descriptive perspective and analytical of the discourse, and seeks to problematize the question of the limits of freedom of expression, establishing past-present links, which are affecting the Spanish cultural envi- ronment to this day. -
