This break-up had emerged in 1974, due to the wave of terrorist attacks of the military front. ETA was divided into two different sections: <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">militar</i> and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">político-militar</i>. The <i>polimilis</i> followed a path that aimed at merging the armed struggle and the mass struggle. However, the political party that emerged from the previous split, EIA, did have an important role. This party was born in 1977 and took part in the political game at a very early stage. EIA will be precisely an important element for ETA <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">político-militar</i> division to give up armed struggle, due to the imposition of a realistic vision, in which political achievements as the Constitution or the Basque Statute make the armed struggle void.<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><o:p></o:p></b></span></p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"> </font>
