Wide of Bilbao sky line STORYLINE Spain's interior minister dismissed a ceasefire announcement by the Basque separatist group ETA and says police will be as tough as ever against the armed militants. The official response came as resident in the northern city of Bilbao, cautiously welcomed the ceasefire announcement on Monday. Local Bilbao woman Charo, told AP Television that it was time to stop the killing. "If something can be done to stop more deaths it should be done. If you have to talk with the devil so that this stops you talk with the devil," she said. Other resident were also upbeat about the prospects of peace. "I think that this one is going to be the definitive one and logically we have to be optimistic," said Joseba. However Interior Minister Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba said that ETA's statement on Sunday falls short of what Basque society and other Spaniards demand from the militant group, which is that it renounces violence for good. The minister told Spanish National Television on Monday he is convinced ETA will continue with other illegal activities like trying to amass weapons. Rubalcaba says the militant group has declared the truce because it is decimated by arrests and desperate to regroup and rearm, and ruled out negotiations on their goal of an independent homeland. While more circumspect, 'El Correo' newspaper director, Juan Carlos Martinez, also agreed Sunday that it was too early to celebrate a return to lasting peace. "You can't let down your guard, we have to wait and be very demanding with ETA, they must lay down their guns if they want to be in politics," he said. ETA's last deadly attack in Spain was in July of last year, when it killed two policemen with a car bomb. Nearly 240 of its members have been arrested since 2008.
