<p>Basque separatists have launched a new political party they say rejects violence by the armed group ETA.</p>
<p>The move is an unprecedented step designed to move the troubled region toward peace.</p>
<p>The party was presented on Monday by more than a dozen activists, including several former members of banned groups and one former ETA militant.</p>
<p>In recent years Spanish courts have banned several Basque parties because they do not condemn ETA, and all parties must reject violence under Spanish law.</p>
<p>The 2003 law has left pro-independence sympathisers associated with ETA without any parliamentary representation. </p>
<p>They now hope that by rejecting all violence including that of ETA, they can take part in municipal elections in May.</p>
<p>It is up to the Interior Ministry to decide if the party can be authorised.</p>
