Madrid (AFP) – Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said Thursday there would be “no impunity” for ETA’s crimes even though the Basque separatist group has said it would fully disband after more than four decades of violence.

“No matter what ETA does, there is no room for impunity for its crimes. ETA can announce its disappearance but its crimes do not disappear nor do the efforts to pursue and punish them,” he said in a televised speech in northern city of Logrono.
