Madrid - The Basque separatist movement ETA is unlikely to agree to a new ceasefire in the foreseeable future, the Spanish Interior Minister, Mr Jaime Mayor Oreja, said yesterday. "In my opinion, it's not in sight. At the moment I don't see any short term possibility of an ETA truce," the minister said.
ETA has killed three people since it ended a 14-month ceasefire in January. The movement was blamed earlier this month for the killing of a Spanish journalist, Jose Luis Lopez de Lacalle, outside his home in Andoain in the Basque region in northern Spain. The minister stressed that ETA was also "a French problem".
