Patxi Zabaleta's lecture, which preceded the talk that will given by Begoña Errazti, Chairman of Eusko Alkartasuna next 21 March, is framed within a conference series organised to examine the new political situation in the Basque Country. It was planned following ETA's ceasefire announcement in March and, according to Javier Elzo, Deusto Forum's Chairman and member of the Forum Board, it seeks to 'help to promote reflection from the University sphere and discuss about the future of the Basque Country'. In line with this commitment, the aim of Deusto Forum was to invite important figures from all social spheres, who can contribute to the future of the Basque Country.
The first speaker of this conference series was the chairman of the Euskadi Buru Batzar, Josu Jon Imaz. Then, other lectures were given by Patxi López, Secretary-General of the Basque Socialist Party, PSE-EE, Marixabel Lasa, Director of the Support Service for Victims of Terrorism of the Basque Government, José M Vázquex Eguskiza, Chairman of the Employers' Confederation of Bizkaia (CEBEK), and Javier Madrazo, General Coordinator of Ezker Batua-Berdeak.
