The German president will be in Gernika on Friday on a visit marked by the memory of the bombing
German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier will travel to Spain today and on Friday to Gernika to participate in an event in remembrance of the victims of the bombing. The lack of a closed agenda and doubts about the delegation of the Spanish Government have caused institutional unrest.
German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier will arrive in Madrid today and onFriday he will travel to Gernika da to participate in an act of tribute to those killed in the bombing of the Condor Legion. The lack of detail of the final programme has caused unrest among the institutions, especially as it is not yet known which representatives of the Spanish Government will be present.
Pending the closure ofthe agenda, the Basque Government has highlighted the historic importance of this visit . Spokeswoman Maria Ubarretxena has stressed in Euskadi Irratia that the presence of the German President is an important gesture of recognition of Gernika and his collective memory.
In recent days, various groups have asked the Spanish Governmentto apologise\u00A0 for what happened in 1937. The PSE Secretary General, Eneko Andueza, believes that this gesture must be made by the heirs of Francoism. The director of the Gogora Institute, Alberto Alonso, reflected along the same lines and stressed that a democratic government should not apologize for the actions of a dictatorship.
After the tribute to Gernika, Steinmeier will go to the Peace Museum and, in the afternoon, will travel to Bilbao to visit the German School and the Guggenheim Museum, on an agenda that aims to highlight the memory, reconciliation and bilateral relations between the two countries.
