Sortu calls to participate in the act of remembrance of the two young men shot by the Franco regime
Sortu has claimed the memory of Juan Paredes "Txiki" and Angel Otaegi, who were shot by the Franco government, and has called for institutional recognition.
On 27 September, 50 years after the shooting of the two ETA militants, the left-abertzale party called for participation in the commemorative event to be held that day at the Anaitasuna pavilion in Pamplona, at a press conference held this Wednesday in Zarautz.
Lur Albizu , representative of the National Council of Sortu, wanted to "denounce the attitude that some have shown" in recent weeks with the memory of Txiki and Otaegi. In his words, the voices that say that "memory causes pain" make it "clear" that there are "primary and secondary victims".
Without mentioning it directly, Albizu has criticized the statements made by the socialist director of the Gogora Institute, Alberto Alonso, in which he said that "one thing is the recognition of the victims of Francoism and another is the tribute". In the words of the director of Gogora, "they fought against the dictatorship but using the same instruments used by it, that is, violence and fear".
Sortu's representative believes that Francoism left things "well tied" and that the "scars" of 50 years ago "are still alive in the Basque Country," so it is time to remember "the thirst for freedom of the generation that raised this people and brought hope."
Anie Paredes, the niece of Juan Paredes' Txiki, has stated on her side that 'Txiki' and Otaegi were 'two young idealists who fought against the Franco dictatorship' and that their families have lived 'years of persecution and oblivion in addition to suffering'.
Mertxe Urtuzaga, cousin of Angel Otaegi, explains that "healing scars requires recognition, but not only recognition of the people, but recognition, reparation and justice of institutions."
Urtuzaga has pointed out that the recognition of the Basque Government as a victim of political violence in 2012 'was well received by families for being late', although he has stressed that there is still 'a long way to go'.
