The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euroresidentes.com\/euroresiuk\/Spanish_Government\/Fernandez_de_la_Vega.htm\">Spanish Vice-president, Fernandez de la Vega<\/a>, has also urged caution, although she said she hoped the announcement represented the beginning of the end of violence. Only a couple of weeks ago, Rodriguez Zapatero announced that the end to ETA&#8217;s violence was near. Other key Spanish politicians have made declarations. The leader of the Basque Popular Party, Maria San Gil, said that the announcement was the result of \u00abcontinual concessions of Zapatero&#8217;s Government\u00bb, while the leader of the Catalan separatists, Artur Mas, told the media he was very happy to hear ETA&#8217;s promise of a \u00abpermanent\u00bb ceasefire.<\/p>\n<p>Related:<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.euroresidentes.com\/Blogs\/2005\/05\/government-in-spain-proposes-talks.htm\">Spanish government proposes talks with ETA<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.euroresidentes.com\/Blogs\/2005\/09\/spain-government-and-eta-negotiate.htm\">Spanish government and ETA negotiate possible ceasefire<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.euroresidentes.com\/Blogs\/2005\/09\/majority-in-spain-would-support.htm\">The majority of Spaniards would support negotiations with ETA<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today at 12.30 ETA announced a permanent ceasefire which will come into effect at midnight on 24th March.
