The theories predicting that the illegalisation would "set fire to the streets" were seen to be false. Precisely the opposite happened. We saw freedom gaining space in the streets thanks to the illegalisation of Batasuna". "We have witnessed that when laws are reinforced and enforced, fighting against terrorist crimes becomes more effective and everyone's freedom improves". "As Jos? Mar?a Aznar said the day Tom?s Caballero was murdered, "the road is hard, but it is the road nonetheless". We know that we must be consistent with all the inflicted suffering. For that reason we must commit ourselves to the victims and be aware that defending their dignity and memory is defending our civil life". Cayetana ?lvarez de Toledo: "A first historical truth is that there have been two antiterrorist policies in Spain: one of democratic strength based on the law; and one that considered the law as a nuisance for the end of ETA. There has been the Ermua policy and the Loyola policy; the policy of the Rule of Law and the policy of the Gals and the faisanes". "The current terrorist roadmap can be summarised in the return of Batasuna to institutions; the opening of a second round of negotiations, now with their faces exposed; and reaching an agreement that furthers, in the political sphere, the self-determination of the Basque Country, and in the criminal sphere, the granting of impunity to ETA prisoners". "In the following years, Spain will have to address a new project of democratic regeneration. The project will have to include, as an essential part, ETA's final defeat. The defeat of the three "Ds": the total dismantling of ETA's arsenal; the delegitimisation of their criminal history with winners and losers; and the dropping of their totalitarian project". Ignacio Cosid?: "If today defeat is possible it is also thanks to Navarre. Because in Navarre terrorists have not won. Thanks to Navarre's resistance we can defeat ETA". "It is essential that ETA doesn't return to democratic institutions. If we let terrorists sneak back into our democratic institutions we will be risking ETA's defeat. We must prevent that by mobilising all necessary means". "In ETA's defeat there will be winners and losers. It is necessary that victims feel victorious in the end of terror; it is necessary that the end of ETA is their defeat and that it will not mean in any case terrorist impunity". ?"scar Elia: "A nation that respects itself can never give in before a declared enemy. A nation of free and equal citizens cannot surrender to a criminal and totalitarian organisation". "We cannot allow ETA to win losing what it did not manage to win by killing" Espa?a, camino de libertad
