The municipalities of Zarautz and Azpeitia have held acts of recognition for Txiki and Otaegi
On the 50th anniversary of their shooting, Txiki and Otaegi have held commemorative events in the municipalities of their hometown, Zarautz and Azpeitia. In the last weeks of the dictator Franco, they were shot on 27 September 1975, like three other members of the FRAP, one in Barcelona and one in Burgos.
Zarautz City Council recalled this Friday afternoon Manot TxikiJon Paredes, Mayor Xabier Txurruka, has stated that both the act and the institutional declaration adopted "unanimously" have been the result of collaboration and consensus between the three parties represented in the organization (PNV, EH Bildu and PSE-EE).

Both statements confirm that Txiki and Otaegi had trials that "violated the principles to be followed by a fair trial" and that their executions "violated the right to life".
Both municipalities have expressed their willingness to pursue a "public memory policy"and have sought to" fulfil their right to truth, justice, reparation and to be part of memory ".
Recognizing that they are "late" expressions, they recognize that they seek to repay their "moral debt" to the two victims and their families; to make a "declaration of solidarity and humanity in the face of the injustice to which they were subjected".
Txiki and Otaegi's families have participated in both events.
In Zarautz, Perdi Paredes, Txiki's brother, has thanked the citizens who have shown them their love over the years, but he has also said that the family is "hurt" by the "injustice to the memory of their brother" in recent days.
In Azpeitia Mertxe Urtuzaga, cousin of Otaegi, said that these shootings "are part of the history of Euskal Herria" and stressed the importance of disseminating this knowledge.
