She was particularly vocal in her opposition to José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero's policy of offering peace talks to the group if they disarmed. She has since become a para-alpine skier. ==Personal== Villa grew up and continues to live in Madrid.〔 In October 1991, Villa lost both of her legs〔 and several fingers as a result of a bombing by Basque separatist group ETA.〔 Her father told the doctors not to do anything and that it would be better to let her die because her injuries were so extensive and her life would be full of suffering. The doctors did not heed his request.〔〔 Her mother also lost a leg and an arm in the bombing.〔〔 Following her experience with the attack, she has been active in opposing any government-led negotiations with ETA and the peace process for openly dealing with the group, as proposed by former Spanish President José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, describing them as "murderers". She also gave frequent interviews to Spanish magazines, including ''¡Hola!'' and ''Telva'', before becoming a columnist herself with the Spanish newspaper ''La Razon''.〔 In 2007, Villa became less active in the "fight" against ETA, citing the hostility she felt she was receiving and her desire to devote more time to skiing.〔 One of the people who subjected her and others to hostility, insulting Villa in an online forum, was sentenced to prison for a year and four months, and had to pay a fine of 2,850€ for humiliating victims of terrorism. Villa has a Bachelors degree in Audiovisual Communication from the European University of Madrid. In addition to this, she has also taken courses in psychology, humanities and communication. She earned a scholarship from the Adecco Foundation in 2009. She is married to Juan Pablo Lauro and gave birth to a son in 2012. She has published an autobiography, ''Saber que se puede'', about her life and experiences. In 2012, she participated in the International Day of Life.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Irene Villa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
