In addition, the photograph that goes in the lower part is taken next to the house in which one of Javier's daughters lived, in the middle of the morning, a few hours before being machine-gun. When he made the photo, Javier, joking, said to his daughter, “Well, so that you may have it for “We remember you”. That had been the case! I've got this picture hanging in the office.

That same day, together with my colleague Tere, we ate in her house. In the afternoon we went together in a car to Baiona, there was a demonstration, Javier sent his usual work to egin. Shortly after his expulsion, when they left the car, the killer bullets of the GAL and the mercenaries sacrificed him at 19:30 hours. Two minutes later we got to another car, we found Javier dead on the ground, and we saw at least one of the mercenaries paid by the government of Felipe González running.

In another photo I can't add here, you can see Javier's body bleeding down the ground, dead, along with a group of family and friends. Next to Josu Muguruza, on the right. He is seen half a body, which was later killed at the Hotel Alcalá in Madrid. In the attack, Iñaki Esnaola suffered serious injuries and was slightly injured on one leg. You can see me too, with a gacha head.

It's been 35 years. Her wife, Marib, is still admitted to a nursing home. I visit her regularly in Sopela, OK. Her two daughters, too, each with her family.
