Pradales has proclaimed the legacy of Aguirre on the anniversary of his death: "Man of peace, with capital letters."
President Imanol Pradales has published an article on the LinkedIn social network on the occasion of the 66th anniversary of the death of lehendakari Jose Antonio Agirre, in which he reviews his political career and proclaims the topicality of his thinking. His commitment to peace is one of the points he emphasizes because he was "a man of peace, with capital letters."
Pradales has placed Aguirre in the context of the great conflicts of the 20th century, such as the Spanish Civil War and the Second World War. In this context, he recalled the words of the Lehendakari himself, who said that he had placed himself "in the field of freedom in one or the other", highlighting his political position in the face of totalitarianism.
The current president has highlighted how Aguirre managed the conflict, how "his main effort was to humanize the war" and how he denounced events like the bombing of Gernika.
The President has also focused on the international dimension of Aguirre's legacy. Pradales has stressed that he participated in the initiatives that gave rise to organizations such as the United Nations and defended an international order based on standards. In this regard, he has warned that "multilateralism is essential and cannot be excluded under circumstances."
The lehendakari links these teachings to current challenges by claiming political responsibility. "Peace is not protected by mere slogans or pretended pretty intentions," he says, and calls for strengthening Europe as a "community of values." On Aguirre's anniversary, he concludes by pointing out that the best tribute is to maintain these principles and ethical and pragmatic firmness "in these times of uncertainty, versatility and war."
