On the occasion of the anniversary of the Gernika bombing, the Gernika Memory Site platform has organized a comprehensive programme these weeks, as memory is "a way to look at the world", as explained in the presentation. They will take advantage of the initiative to denounce, looking back, the injustices that currently occur, without evading their political importance.
Within the program, among other activities, the play "Often Hurts the Chord" has been offered in the Lizeo Theatre by the students of the Ibarrekolanda Institute of Secondary Education. It's a creation from the poems of the writer Joseba Sarrionandia.
But this Friday is the culminating time to recall the massacre of fascist German aviation 87 years ago with the Franco authorities. As usual, at 15:45 hours a 4-minute initiative will be carried out, mermaids will be restored on the Paseo and at the Astra factory and will be heard throughout the village. This year they have invited Palestinian citizens and Artisans of Peace.
"The memory we built from Gernika is based on solidarity," explained the members of the platform. Justice. By raising your voice, at all times, reasons and times as necessary. That is why we say once again that we have always been with the Palestinian people, and that we will be, and that we will always remember the attempt to genocide against him, as they tried against us, to bring the state of Israel to the darkest place in history."
