Garaikoetxea rejects EA integration into EH Bildu

The former lehendakari of the Basque Government made these statements at the beginning of the political course, before the critical EA militants in the Basque Country. The former EA lehendakari argues that EH Bildu must continue as a coalition, that EA is a Social Democratic party and that it could not be integrated into a party with Marxist ideology, not to mention even Sortu.

Within EA there is a great struggle for the role that EA must play in EH Bildu and for its nature, and there is a large critical sector with the current management denouncing that the direction will lead to nothing to EA, integrating the party in EH Bildu. That is why an extraordinary congress is being called for so that the party may decide some time ago on this key issue. Not only that, critics believe that the current management of EE has been chosen with uncertain procedures and that the process of choice of management should be renewed.

On Sunday, Joseba Elosegi, Gudari of the War of 36 and former EA Senator were honored. This year is 50 years since Elosegi burned himself and threw himself into the Franco dictator on the fronton of Anoeta de Donostia-San Sebastián.

Mirador Joseba Elosegi

[Information of the Word of Irutxuloko] Members of the Eusko Alkartasuna of Donostia-San Sebastián have celebrated this Sunday in the viewpoint that bears their name an act of tribute to the anti-fascist Abertzale wrestler Joseba Elosegi. The tribute has been "simple" and its historical successors and militants have been at the viewpoint of the Cerro de San Bartolomé. The representatives of EA have made a talk and a floral offering to the attendees.

The tribute has been “very sentient”, according to Jabier Estebanez, member of EA: “Joseba Elosegi is a referent for any Abertzale, and her figure is highly appreciated by our affiliation. There are still a lot of people who remember their talks at Alkartetxe in Amara. We can say that Joseba Elosegi, as well as a militant of Eusko Alkartasuna, is a reference for our organization.”

“We have a lot to learn” by Joseba Elosegi, in Estébanez’s opinion: “Joseba Elosegi, with her militant action and commitment, boosted hope and unity in the fight for our freedoms, fought against the Franco dictatorship and fascism. His commitment is worthy of admiration.”

The viewpoint built on the hill of San Bartolomé has been baptized with the name of Joseba Elosegi, and Esteban has positively valued: “It was nice to see spokespeople of different political sensibilities praise the work of Joseba Elosegi, and even more beautiful the chosen place. From there you see the Good Shepherd, where he placed the ikurrina on July 18, 1946 and his house on Urbieta Street.”

Still, “the best tribute is to know his image,” according to Estébanez. For this you can read the book written by Elosegi: I want to die for something.
