ThePlaza de la Constitución de Donostia-San Sebastián will host today, at 12:30, an event in memory of Ernest Lluch 2000.\u00On the 25th anniversary of the murder of ETA on 21 November of the year , institutions, political representatives and citizens will participate in this recognition and participate in the activities organized during these weeks to vindicate his figure and heritage.

Lluch was killed in the parking lot of his home in the Les Corts district of Barcelona by two members of the ETA Barcelona Command, whose death provoked a massive social reaction with a massive demonstration of revulsion in the Catalan capital two days later.

Lluch left to those who knew him the image ofa committed intellectual and a firm voice for coexistence . His career was marked by his commitment to dialogue between different political sensitivities and, in particular, by the opening of spaces of understanding with Basque nationalism to move towards the end of the violence. "I will not give up until Basque democratic nationalism is part of the constitutional bloc," he said.

During the first ETA truce he participated in an event in San Sebastian with the then socialist candidate Odón Elorza. Some sections of the left abertzale tried to boycott him. His answer, proclaiming freedom and democracy, became one of his most remembered phrases.  "What a joy to come to this square and see that those who are now shouting do not kill now.

During today's tribute in the capital of Guipuzcoana, other institutional and institutional events will be held to recognize the figure of Lluch on this 25th anniversary, with special attention to his ethical, intellectual and civic legacy.
