El Gobierno considera auténtico el comunicado de la banda, interceptado por la Guardia Civil European embassies in Madrid, París and Bruselas still haven't received ETA's communiqué in which the gang demands international mediation to achieve peace in the Basque Country. The letter has also not reached the European Parliament nor the European Commission, nor BBC, the alleged destination of the note. The latter was intercepted by the Guardia Civil, which transitted its content to the Government. This notwithstanding, counter-terrorism commanders doubted its authenticity, as did the daily newspaper Gara. Despite those initial hesitations, the Office of the Prime Minister and the Interior Ministry confirm ETA's authorship.
When I first read about this letter a couple of days ago I completely missed the fact that it had been intercepted by the Guardia Civil and never proven to have been released by ETA. tens of millions of people stand to see their lives ruined because the bureaucrats at the ECB don't understand introductory economics -- Dean Baker

Something's not right here. Terrorist groups like ETA live in a parastic relationship with the press (the question being who the parasite is). ETA likes to talk. Why would they not send this to embassies like they have with previous letters like the one to Villepin in October, why is the only proof this even exists an intercept from the Guardia Civil? And I'll give my consent to any government that does not deny a man a living wage-Billy Bragg
