Argazkia: Dani Blanco

Iñaki Segurola worked for years the Basque General Dictionary, as well as the Basque Historical-Etymological Dictionary. He has been a member of the Basque Language Academy since 1991. He wrote about the philosophy of the Basque Country in the essay Sed quia sua (2020, Erein). Kepa Matxain interviewed at ARGIA about this book: "We are no longer able to transmit a living language.

The first attempt was made in 2005, with Alberdania: Today is not going to make the time to die either. Nere gorringotik (2008, Alberdania) and Zergatik ez dago (2012, Alberdania) wrote below. Below you can see the interview made by Mikel Asurmendi in ARGIA on this last topic (and here reads it):

His latest work is the dialogic novel Koiteretzia (2021, Alberdania). He wrote during the lockdown, where he collected the interviews and views of the citizens who were at the time when they were going to search for food.

Also in the radios it was a known voice. In recent years, Hanka has conducted a free Lurrin radio program on Eztarrixe radio (here are all the programs). This radio programme won the ARGIA Prize in 2020. In the video, from 16:20 hours, you can see the moment and the concert of Segurola laughed:

In the Arratsean program of the Basque Country, Irratia participated for more than ten years in the opinion section Sermoia de la teleserie.

Farewell on 16 April

The civil farewell event will be held on the afternoon of April 16 at 19:00 at the Tanatorio Carmona de Azpeitia, Farewell Lounge.
