Basque political refugee
The collective of basque political refugee have said that they "are prepared to talk with states (french and spanish)" to continue making steps towards solution.

They have also said, that they are not going to accept an stop in the process and have shown their intention to "end with the exile forever". They support the next national demonstration in favour of basque political prisoners that have been called in Baiona (Lapurdi north basque country).

According to them, two are the challenges: "Advance in the process that is going to achieve international recognition" and "overcome the harsh consequences of the conflict". 

Beñat Atorrasagasti (borned in Lesaka Nafarroa south basque country), is a basque militant that is imprisoned in Scotland.  He was arrested on July of 2012 by scotish police. According to spanish media, he was member of ETA and helped ETA members to move between borders. On 2001, "guardia civil" (spanish military police) tried to arrest him but he escaped.

A group of solidarity have supported him in Edinburgh (scotland).
