San Sebastian - The Basque armed separatist group, ETA, has no plans to disarm, and its ceasefire is not irrevocable, says the head of the group's political wing.
"As long as the conflict persists, ETA will exist, and the conflict will end when the national rights of this [Basque] country are recognised," Mr Arnaldo Ortegi of Herri Batasuna (HB) said. His comments came three weeks after ETA declared an unlimited ceasefire, without offering to lay down arms or drop its goal of national sovereignty.
