Urmeneta: my story
From the rumours that have generated this year’s unjust prizes in Navarre, it is clear the time when those who still remain in the Navarre government dream: Franco’s. It was about extolling the political era through Huarte and stepping the wounds and pains opened by Franco, as well as a repressive intention: Through the urmenet mix everything from top to bottom and shake the corners well.
Above all, Miguel Javier Urmeneta has highlighted his voluntary participation in the 1936 war and in the “blue division”, not to mention that in both cases there was a threat of death, before departing “voluntary” to the war. Later, he undertook the high-level military career, was mayor of Pamplona and deputy of the Provincial Council of Navarra. Quite a few bad things have been mentioned to him in recent weeks, but not, for example, that he has given up his medal and his military awards.
Urmeneta also highlighted in another study, that of dignifying the Basque and the Basque. In fact, thanks, among other things, to the efforts of Urmeneta, the Department for the Basque Country (sic) was created within the Provincial Council in 1957, to do something for the Basque Country, which was in constant decline, taking advantage of the narrow scars of the time. The surviving Basque Pre-War Navarros also welcomed the new initiative, along with a new generation, taken over by the then political forces (who exercised secrecy). From there, among other things, were organized Basque festivals, bertsolaris championships, ikastolas, a magazine in Basque and prizes for Basque boys and girls. Indeed, Urmeneta told those in charge of the Department: “We have to attract boys and girls to the Basque country; with boys and girls will come parents, and if we keep boys and girls around the Basque country, our language will have a future.” Later, in the 1960s, another young generation joined the initiative, among which were some of the most relevant agents of Basque cultural activity in the last 35 years. Well, the main driver of this initiative, either in silence, or against the views of other members of the Parliament, or against the governor of the time, was Urmeneta.
There is, therefore, our recent past, totally unknown; it is not told in official history, not even in an official account against official history.
