Gogora will increase its historical research budget by 30% by 2026
On 1 December, a meeting of students, victims and citizens will be held to "demystify the last years" of Francoism.
The Board of Directors of the Institute for Memory, Coexistence and Human Rights today approved the preliminary draft budget for 2026, amounting to EUR 5,283,000. The Director of Gogora, Alberto Alonso, has stressed that the allocation for historical research will be 30% higher, namely EUR 385,000.
In fact, a number of lines of research will be discussed next year, including those relating to sexual and gender diversity during Francoism; the functioning of the Women's Protection Board in the ACV; and the members, political officials and officials of the first Basque Government, on the occasion of the 90th anniversary of the establishment of the Basque Government.
According to Alonso, strengthening the line of work of the research is the way to respond to the natural goal of the Gogora Institute: "to be an active agent in knowing and understanding past events; to provide resources to citizens to build a critical and reflective memory based on historical rigour and constant debate with our past."
Action plan
They have also approved activities to be launched next year, such as the exhibition for the 40th anniversary of the creation of the Gesture for Peace, the 90th anniversary of the founding of the first Basque Government and the 50th anniversary of the events of 3 March in Vitoria-Gasteiz.
Alberto Alonso also mentions a number of activities reflected in the Civil War Search and Identification Project and the plan approved this Tuesday, as well as activities to dignify these people.
Memory Day
On 10 November, the Basque Government will once again celebrate Memory Day at an institutional event in memory of all the victims of terrorism and violence, which this year will take place at the Palacio Europa in Vitoria-Gasteiz at 12:00.
The director of the Gogora Institute has pointed out that this year they want to highlight what public and social recognition of the victims brings to society, "adding assets for coexistence".
Alberto Alonso also reports on the upcoming activities of the Gogora Institute, including the meeting of young students, victims, specialists and society to be held on 1 December at the BEC of Barakaldo.
On this occasion, on the 50th anniversary of the death of the dictator Francisco Franco, Gogora will propose an action to "demystify the final years of the dictatorship", highlighting the "serious violations of human rights and the lack of rights and freedoms that persisted in those years".
