Abstract
El siguiente trabajo analiza el repertorio discursivo de ex-integrantes de ETA en torno a cuestiones tales como la violencia, el arrepentimiento o la reconciliación. Tras la realización de nueve entrevistas en profundidad a destacados dirigentes del grupo terrorista, se analizan algunos aspectos vertebradores que legitiman el uso de la violencia política y el terrorismo, tanto en sus orígenes como desde una mirada retrospectiva una vez que ETA ha desaparecido. Asimismo, se muestra la ausencia de arrepentimiento y las dificultades para construir un espacio de reconciliación en el País Vasco. De igual modo, las entrevistas revelan cómo muchas de las cuestiones que motivaron el surgimiento de ETA hoy siguen vigentes y no han desaparecido, 30 más allá del hecho de que el uso de la violencia terrorista no tenga cabida en sociedad vasca.
The following work analyzes the discursive repertoire of former members of ETA around issues such as violence, repentance or reconciliation. Nine in-depth interviews were conducted with terrorist group leaders to analyze the elements that legitimized the use of political violence, both in relation to its origins and from a retrospective look, once the ETA has disappeared. This paper also shows the absence of regret and the difficulties in building a space for reconciliation in the Basque Country. Thus, the interviews reveal how it is still understood that many of the issues that motivated the emergence of ETA today are still valid and have not disappeared, beyond the fact that the use of terrorist violence has no place in Basque society
