Abstract.฀The฀problem฀concerning฀living฀together฀in฀vasque฀society฀is฀only฀an฀artificial฀
issue.฀A฀confrontation฀has฀never฀existed฀between฀two฀communities฀in฀the฀Vasque฀Coun-
try.฀The฀violence฀of฀ETA฀is,฀at฀least,฀sample฀and฀out฀of฀place:฀if฀it฀is฀true฀that฀ETA’s฀origin฀
can฀be฀localized฀in฀fighting฀against฀Franco฀dictatorship,฀it฀is฀also฀that฀the฀most฀of฀its฀
terrorist฀activity฀has฀been฀made฀in฀democracy฀times.฀The฀nationalist฀expectations฀were฀
fully฀inserted฀in฀the฀Statute฀of฀Autonomy,฀along฀with฀the฀different฀signs฀of฀identity฀which฀
PNV฀makes฀aware:฀a฀flag,฀a฀national฀anthem฀and฀the฀name฀for฀the฀Country.฀Indeed,฀
some฀mass฀media฀were฀given฀to฀the฀vasque฀Government,฀and฀the฀linguistic฀coexistence฀
between฀Spanish฀and฀Vasque฀languages฀was฀stablished.฀The฀vasque฀terrorism,฀conse-
quently,฀has฀simple฀and฀differential฀features,฀because฀the฀Vasque฀Country฀is฀the฀unique฀
democracy฀all฀over฀the฀world฀in฀which฀the฀people฀attacked฀are฀the฀ones฀governed,฀but฀
never฀those฀who฀governs.฀
