Euskadi Ta Askatasuna or ETA (English: Basque Homeland and Freedom; pronounced [ˈɛːta]), is an armed Basque nationalist and separatist organization. Founded in 1959, it evolved from a group advocating traditional cultural ways to a paramilitary group with the goal of Basque independence. Its ideology is Marxist-Leninist.
All formulations of ETA's goals have centred on independence for the extended Basque Country from a Marxist-Leninist interpretation.
ETA's motto is Bietan jarrai ("Keep up on both"). This refers to the two figures in its symbol, a snake (representing politics) wrapped around an axe (representing armed fight).
ETA has killed over 800 individuals and undertaken dozens of kidnappings. The group is proscribed as a terrorist organization by both the Spanish and French authorities as well as the European Union as a whole, and the United States. This convention is followed by a plurality of domestic and international media, which also refer to the band as "terrorist". More than 700 members of the organization are incarcerated in prisons in Spain, France, and other countries.
