Elkarri ( Basque: "One to the Other" or "Mutually") [1] was an organization that sought a peaceful resolution of the Basque conflict. [2]
Formed in 1992, its founders were members of the Basque National Liberation Movement who had become disillusioned with political violence. [2] As its membership grew, it encompassed other political viewpoints, eventually moving towards the moderate nationalism of the Basque Nationalist Party and Eusko Alkartasuna. [2] In 2000 Elkarri had about 2500 members and 13 full-time employees. [3]
Elkarri argued that the Basque conflict had deep historical roots and could only be resolved through a political settlement between ETA and the Spanish government. [2]
In 2006 Elkarri split into two organizations: Lokarri and Baketik. [4] Lokarri organized [5] the 2011 Donostia-San Sebastián International Peace Conference that led to ETA's "definitive cessation of its armed activity." [6] It disbanded in 2015. [7]
