ETA's latest, Intifada-inspired tactics involve street disturbances by supporters too young to be jailed (hooded youths burn city buses, barricade streets, bomb banks and attack local police). The number of such incidence skyrocketed in 1995 ( three times as many as in the previous four years combined), and has remained act similarly high levels since then. These dire circumstances seem to have reinforced the ruling Basque Nationalist Party's commitment to achieving economic recovery, which they believe will help to establish political stability. The Basque determined realize their ambitious plans to rejuvenacz bilbao (and by extension, the Basque Country) and to construct a new image of the region geared to appeal to foreign investment, for which the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao plays a vitally important symbolic role.
