that it was impossible to defeat militarily an army sustained by imperialism. This army received from the US over 1,000 million dollars, besides advisers, war materials. In 1987 the FMLN presented a peace proposal with 18 points. In 1989, the FMLN presented in Washington their platform to negotiate the end of the war. These facts transcend the period we are analyzing.
National situation The period from 1980 to 1987 is very clarifying in the Basque political scene. Some parties disappeared, as Langile Abertzale Iraultzaileen Alderdia (LAIA) dissolved in 1984;The Basque Communist Party (EPK) and Euskal Iraultzarako Alderdi (EIA) unified in 1981 in a party called Euskadiko Ezkerra. EMK was born in 1983 after dissociating itself from the Communist Movement in Spain. After being involved in several electoral coaliations such as Auzolan (198386), in Navarra they finally become the organization Batzarre (since 1987 until now). LKI is also involved in various electoral coalitions until in 1991 it became Zutik. During these years the Basque Left became stronger. Herriko Alberdi Sozialista Iraultzailea (HASI) has been consolidated (1983) as a party committed to the project from the left and sovereign is very present in the structures of Herri Batasuna. Langileen Abertzaleen Batzordea (LAB) reconsiders its earlier decision and in 1980 he returned to KAS. In 1985, after an intense debate, KAS reaffirmed in the struggle against the enemies of the people and classes. There is a significant internal strengthening and a continued expansion opening to the various sectoral struggles as a union. Since 1980 the Koordinadora Abertzaleen Sozialista (KAS) was structured as a block leader of the Basque revolution. This block has an armed group (ETA), a movement of popular struggle committees (ASK), a trade union (LAB), a youth organization (Jarrai) and, since 1988, a feminist group (EGIZAN). At its founding manifesto, KAS provides internationalism as one of its traits of identity. Simultaneously, it will consolidate the electoral coalition Herri Batasuna (HB) which records the vote in favor of a breakup process. In March 1979, and despite including prisoners on their lists, they get an unforeseen electoral success. The conglomerate seen as the Basque National Liberation Movement (MLNV) is becoming a strength that alarm the State. This political subject is a serious risk to its transition project with no change. In this decade of repression by the State is going to bait the various sectors of MLNV: attacks against militants and posts of Herri Batasuna (197980), mass arrests of elected posts (1981) multiple prosecutions (1982), emergence of terrorism of State, the Armed Liberation Groups (GAL), murder of Santi Brouard, secretary general of HASI (1984).
