As explained by Joserra Enparan, a member of the Saseta Aldeko Taldea Group (SAT), this Saturday the relatives of Saseta want to remember the Gudari and recognize the work of the Azpeitia City Hall in the recovery of memory. "Saseta was born in Hondarribia, and in the cemetery of that locality a floral offering is celebrated every year in his honor. This year, relatives have decided to do so in Azpeitia, to thank the Azpeitia City Hall and Mayor Eneko Etxeberria," Enparan explained. The SAT member also says they want to spread Saseta's memory: "In the Urola valley, few people know what Saseta is, and people don't even know that there's an image in their memory. With events such as Saturday, we will try to make the image of Saseta known." Enparan has anticipated that the Saturday event will be "simple" and will last for "a few minutes". "Two or three days after Saseta's death, bertsolari Basarri said that the gudari deserved an image. On Saturday, the full text of Basarri will be read. In addition, we will include audios that gather what the 1937 press wrote about Saseta."
