Finally, the round table entitled "Actors in a time of crisis" took place, featuring an interesting debate between Izaskun Bilbao (former president of the Basque Parliament - EAJ-PNV), Ramón Jaure- gui (former member of the Congress of Deputies and former minister - PSE-EE), Rafael Larreina (former member of the Basque Parliament - EA), and Ramón Ra- banera (former deputy general of Álava - PP). Journalist and deputy director of Colpisa, Lourdes Pérez, was in charge of moderating the round table. To close the seminar, Jesús Prieto Menda- za (member of the board of trustees of the Fernando Buesa Foundation) and Antonio Rivera (director of the Valentín de Foronda Institute) summarised everything that had been contributed in the various presenta- tions during the two days of the seminar. The final outcome of the seminar has ena- bled us to draw a plausible interpretation of what happened in that tragic year, with the desire that such a dramatic experience will never be repeated and with the hope that it will help to address unresolved issues in the expression of Basque social and political pluralism.
