The bombing of seven cities across Spain on Monday by the Basque separatist group
ETA on Monday 6 December 2004 slightly wounded five people. The 11 March 2004 train bombings in Madrid,
allegedly carried out by Islamic militants, killed 191 people. Peaceful interaction between Spain and the
Basque “Foral” organ should be introduced to the Constitutional Court by the
Spanish Ambassador to the United Nations in order to make an appeal under Article 161(1)(a)
regarding fulfillment of Title VIII Chapter III by the
Autonomous Basque Community and the continuing constitutionality of;
Article
4 of [Title 12] of the Spanish
Constitution as of the Amendment of 1992, that states;
In the case of Navarra, and for
the purposes of its incorporation into the General Basque Council or the Basque
autonomous regime replacing it, instead of the provisions established by
Article 143, the initiative shall lie with the
competent "Foral" organ, which shall adopt its decision by a majority
of the members comprising it. In order for this initiative to be valid, the
decision of the competent "Foral" organ must also be ratified by a
referendum expressly held for this purpose and passed by a majority of the
valid votes cast. If the initiative does not succeed, it may only be repeated
during a different term of office of the competent "Foral" organ and,
in any case, only when the minimum period laid down in Article 143 has elapsed.
Article
143 [Autonomy Initiative]
(1) In the exercise of the right to autonomy recognized in Article 2, bordering
provinces with common historical, cultural, and economic characteristics, the
island territories, and the provinces with a historical regional unity may
accede to self-government and constitute themselves into autonomous communities
in accordance with the provisions of that Title and the respective statutes.
(2) The initiative for the autonomous process belongs to all the interested
deputations or to the pertinent inter-island body and to two-thirds of the
municipalities whose population represents at least the majority of the
electorate of each province or island. These requirements must be fulfilled
within a period of six months from the first agreement adopted on the subject by
one of the interested local corporations.
(3) The initiative, in case it does not prosper, can only be repeated after the
passage of five years.
Article 2 [National Unity,
Regional Autonomy]
The Constitution is based on the indissoluble unity of the Spanish nation, the
common and indivisible homeland of all Spaniards, and recognizes and guarantees
the right to autonomy of the nationalities and regions which make it up and the
solidarity among all of them.

Bombs
Rock Spain On Constitution of 6 December 1977 Day
2004
By
Emma Pinedo, AP MADRID,
Spain (Dec. 6) - The Basque separatist group ETA set off bombs in seven cities
across Spain on Monday, slightly wounding five people and escalating their
renewed fight for independence on the day Spaniards celebrate unity. The
outlawed group called in warnings minutes before the simultaneous blasts on
Constitution Day to allow police to clear cafes and public squares. It marked the second wave of attacks in three
days, showing ETA was still capable of high-profile attacks despite more than
100 arrests this year including the capture of the group's leader in France two
months ago. Analysts interpret the weak potency of the bombs
and the warning calls as ETA's message that it is still standing and wants to
negotiate, although talks have been rejected by Spain's mainstream parties as a
capitulation to ''terrorists.'' ETA-watchers also say the group apparently has
decided not to risk even further public backlash by killing more people in the
wake of the March 11 train bombings in Madrid, carried out by Islamic
militants, when 191 people died. The small bombs hit the cities of Alicante,
Avila, Ciudad Real, Leon, Malaga, Santillana del Mar and Valladolid -- a corridor
from the far north to south of Spain. On Friday, coordinated ETA bombings at five
Madrid service stations marked the first attack on the capital in two years and
ETA's most significant strike following months of relative inactivity. Monday's bombs slightly wounded at least five
people, including a 7-year-old girl, as the country celebrated the anniversary
of the 1978 constitution. The constitution is widely cheered as the
rebirth of Spanish democracy after the four-decade Franco dictatorship, but the
document is bitterly opposed by ETA for enshrining the Basque region as part of
Spain. ''Today is Spanish Constitution Day and it has
to continue being Spanish Constitution Day, not ETA Day. ... ETA maintains
operational capabilities and that's why we are on maximum alert,'' Interior
Minister Jose Antonio Alonso told a news conference. CRACKDOWN ETA, Western Europe's most active armed militant
group and listed as terrorist by the European Union, has killed nearly 850
people since 1968 in a bombing and shooting campaign for Basque independence
from Spain and France. But there have been no fatal attacks for 18
months amid a police crackdown that has resulted in more than 100 arrests this
year, including the raid on ETA's leadership in France two months ago -- the
harshest blow against ETA in 12 years. Spain's top dignitaries were enjoying cocktails
and hors d'oeuvres at a reception in parliament to mark Constitution Day when
the bombs exploded. None of Monday's blasts were within Spain's
Basque Country, which is made up of three provinces in the north of Spain that
Basque nationalists say are part of a greater Basque homeland including Navarre
and three provinces in France. One of the targeted cities, Leon, is the home
town of Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero and another, Valladolid,
that of his predecessor, Jose Maria Aznar. Additional reporting by Itziar Reinlein in
