Tolosan egin denarekin batera, ostegunean, ekainak 7, Derioko hilerrian lore eskaintza egingo zaio Txabi Etxebarrietari eta iluntzean manifestazioa abiatuko da San Anton elizatik Etxebarrieta anaien plazara. (Argazkia: Tolosaldeko Ataria)

The events have been organized by the association Etxebarrieta memoria and have been attended by several well-known members of the Patriotic Left. In Bentaundi, the historic activist Jokin Aranalde made a flower offering and spoke a few words. From there they come in the alleyway to the Plaza de la Renaissance. There were dancers, musicians and musicians.

Itziar Aizpurua spoke at the political event: "Thank you to all of you who have been militants, who have brought the people here, but above all, thank you to all of you who will continue from now on." Looking at the image of Txabi Etxebarrieta, this is how Aizpuru concludes his appointment: "Our chai, I don't forget you for a moment and Jokin has always kept you inside. You are both in me.” The event was attended by the descendants of the brothers Txabi and Joxean Etxebarrieta, among them the councilor of the EH Bila of Bilbao, Aitziber Ibaibarriaga.

Haimar Altuna, head of the Foundation of Gipuzkoa, said that Etxebarrieta’s death came “at a significant moment, when in the Basque Country the resistance to Franco’s regime, the consciences of the Basque culture, language and workers’ struggle converged”. Altuna remembers the struggle that this generation started and mentions that this could be a utopia, that they are now going to become reality. "So act, go ahead, and take a look at freedom," he concludes with a cry.

In fact, the recently created association Etxebarrieta memoria has chosen the slogan A look at freedom to name the events that will take place these days. Today in Toulouse, on Thursday, June 7, the Cemetery of Derio will host a flower offering to Txabi Etxebarrieta and in the evening a demonstration will be held from the Church of San Antón to the Plaza de los Hermanos Etxebarrieta.

Concentration of AVT

In the Renaissance Square, members of the AVT also appear to protest. They wanted to spread the banner that said truth, memory, dignity and justice and remember the civil guard José Pardines. In recent days, the Basque delegation of the Spanish Government has denounced in the Prosecutor’s Office of the National High Court the events that were scheduled to take place today in Tolosa. However, they could have been carried out normally.

At one point, with the help of a television camera, a person asks questions among the people and shouts, with the memory of the Civil Guard Pardines in his mouth. Seeing that he was trying to thwart the event, the local police took him from the Plaza de la Renaissance.
