PROBLEMS IN THE BASQUE COUNTRY AND CATALONIA
Mr. Studds. Mrs. Fenwick.
Mrs. Fenwick. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Mrs. Fenwick. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I am particularly interested in the prohlems connected with the Basque Situation and Catalonia. I lived in Spain for 4 years.
What is the chance of a peaceful outcome for the Basques? How do we gage [sic] their strength and what effect do you think the movement will have on the Spanish Govemment?
Ms. Ahmad*. If you have lived there for 4 years, you may well know the situation even better than I. In terms of the Basque problem, it is a serious one. It is the source of the majority of the terrorism that is being carried out now.
p.197
The terrorists appear to want to force the government into repressive action. This is understood by virtually everyone concerned. So far they have not been successful. We do not see them being successful at this point in time in forcing an overreaction from the government.
It is a serious problem. After these elections are over, it will be necessary to take up in the Cortes the legislation implementing the degree of autonomy that the Rregions who want more autonomy will have.
At this point, I would not want to say whether or not this is a last-ditch effort on the part of the terrorists or whether we can expect it to continue or increase. In terms of the present situation, the terrorist activity does appear to be designed to work against the democratic government.
I think the situation is much more encouraging in Catalonia. Terrorism is not non-existent there, but it is nothing like the Basque situation. I think the Catalonians, as you well may appreciate, feel confident that they can work out something.
