Any errors are on the part of the translator). Several months have passed since your last interview. What do you make of how things have evolved since then? Before making a general recap in political terms, I would like to highlight and evaluate the capacity and maturity spent by the nationalist left, that even in extreme conditions, has been able to fundamentally review its strategy in line with the needs that the process of national and social liberation in this historical phase. It has also maintained unity and cohesion in the face of a few states that have tried to neutralize it by all means, weaken and even break it, which have failed. This is a battle we're winning against the state. In political terms, my bottom line is that our change of strategy has broken the deadlocked agenda that the state handled with absolute comfort. Today, the sovereign leftist independence movement sets the political agenda in Euskal Herria. Just compare our situation three years ago with the present to corroborate not only the scope of our progress, but the liberating potential of our new strategy. We have exponentially increased popular participation in the mass struggle, we have stabilized strategic alliances with other popular sectors, we have changed the balance of forces, we have engaged the international community in resolving the political conflict, we have regained our credibility with our people, and in just a few years we have placed the Independent left as the second political force in Southern Euskal Herria, with more than 310,000 votes. This only reinforces our confidence in the path taken, remembering that it will be long, hard and difficult. And as for the Spanish state, we see that its ¶ legitimacy has weakened and that it has increasing difficulty in maintaining a position of immobility.
