ETA political-military (Spanish: ETA político-militar) or ETA (pm) was the majority faction of the Basquenationalist group ETA, which, during Spain's transition to democracy accepted offers of amnesty, abandoned the policy of violence, and integrated into a political party (Euskadiko Ezkerra), which later fused with the Partido Socialista de Euskadi (PSE), the Basque affiliate of the national PSOE).
See ETA for more extensive discussion of ETA (pm) and the rival ETA (m).
ETA operates mainly in Spain, particularly in the Basque Country, Navarre, and (to a lesser degree) Madrid, Barcelona, and the tourist areas of the Mediterranean coast of Spain.
ETA is known to have had contacts with the Irish Republican Army; the two groups have both, at times, characterized their struggles as parallel.
The most consequential assassination performed by ETA during Franco's dictatorship was the December 1973 assassination by bomb in Madrid of admiral Luis Carrero Blanco, Franco's chosen successor and president of the government (a position roughly equivalent to being a prime minister).
ETA is considered by Spain, France, the European Union and the United States to be a terrorist organization.
