The Basque Government, through the Basque Institute for Memory, Coexistence and Human Rights, has granted institutional recognition to PNV militant Txomin Letamendi, commander of the 'warriors' and member of the anti-Franco resistance, who died 75 years ago as a result of imprisonment and torture.
The honours will take place on 19 December in Ondarroa and 22 December in Bilbao, organized by the municipalities of both cities, the Provincial Council of Bizkaia and Gogora, as reported by the Observatory for Human Rights of the Basque Country, NGO.
Letamendi died in Madrid on December 20, 1950, after suffering a physical and mental deterioration in Guadalajara prison as a result of torture during his interrogation and subsequent court-martial. He was sentenced to five years for conspiracy to rebellion.
The Observatory stressed that the recognition is made in accordance with Law 9/2023 on the Historical and Democratic Memory of the Basque Country, which was supported by the PNV. In addition, the organization has promoted a new initiative for judicial recognition through the "voluntary jurisdiction" of the Law on Democratic Memory 20/2022, which certifies judicially the facts suffered without criminal harassment of those responsible.
Born in Bilbao in 1901, he was trained as a musician in the Letamendi Symphony Orchestra, commander of the warriors during the Civil War, and after the fall of Bilbao, he went into exile in Paris, where he met Karmele Urresti, and then went to Venezuela and returned to the Basque Country to join the anti-Franco resistance under the direction of the Information Services of the Basque Government.
