The Spanish government has said it would not enter talks with Basque separatist group ETA, after the group offered to hold discussions to bring about a “definitive end” to its armed struggle.
The country’s interior minister Jorge Fernandez Diaz said that there would be no negotiations with a "terrorist organisation".
“They know that we have not negotiated nor will we negotiate in any way with the terrorist organisation.
"So the only statement the government demands, not requests but demands and is working for, is its unconditional dissolution."
