Frankismoaren errepresioa latz bizi izan zuen: 21 urte kartzelan, langile batailoietan esklabo, Meliton Manzanasek ere torturatu zuen. 98 urterekin hil da Marcelo Usabiaga Jauregi,
ezkerreko ideiak alboratu gabe.
Marcelo Usabiaga (Ordizia 1916, Donostia 2015) oso ezaguna zen oroimen historikoaren berreskurapenaren aldeko mugimenduetan. Bere lekukotza indartsuak ez zuen inor hotz uzten. Argian ere azaldu ditu gerran eta Frankismoan bizitako esperientziak, Josu Chueca historialariaren eta Aitor Azurki kazetariaren eskutik.
Irunen hazitakoa, II. Errepublika garaian hasi zen Alderdi Komunistan militatzen eta 1934ko iraultzak porrot egin ondoren mugaz bestaldera ihesi zihoazen burkideak laguntzen jardun zuen. 1936an gerra lehertu zenean Irungo batailan parte hartu zuen; Aiako Harrietan anaia fusilatu zioten eta bera 1937an atzeman zuten Valentzian.
Usabiaga Donostiako Tolosa hiribidea egiten eduki zuten lanean, “harriz betetako bagoiak bultzatzen”. Harik eta ihes egin eta makien gerrillan sartu zen arte. 1944ko erasoan berriz atxilotu zuten eta Meliton Manzanas inspektore beldurgarriak torturatu zuen:
“Gela batean sartu ninduen Manzanasek: ‘Aurrera joan, kabroi alena!’; eta mehatxuka: ‘Beno, zuk denak ordaindu beharko dituzu!’”. Baita ederki ordaindu ere, 21 urte igaro zituen kartzelan.
Azkeneko urteetan militantzia politikoa ez zuen bazterrean utzi eta oroimen historikoa berreskuratzeko ekitaldietan parte hartu izan zuen. Aurten, apirilaren 14an Eibarren egindako ekitaldian, berak jaso zuen bandera errepublikarra.

Araia told me to write to you. He told me that before I leave them (I will do this this year), they want to take you a text of mine, which I have never taken you, and that you deserve, that you will be proud of me. Such an opportunity cannot be missed. I don't know what I can... [+]

The poor management of the Valencian cold drop has led to a change in adverse meteorological alerts, as shown in the first season of "winter". Faced with the threat of rivers overflowing in Hego Euskal Herria, the indications for protection came along several paths, since no... [+]
We're in chaos. That has been said to us by the French media, which Parliament has brought down the government on 4 December. The fear that political, institutional, social, economic chaos will rage us all in the horde of hell comes to our veins. What comedy we're going to play... [+]
In 2011, the powerful 15-M movement broke out, which put the Catalan Govern in a hurry. Among other things, on that occasion the Police ran into the indignant camp of the Plaza Cataluña de Barcelona and besieged the Parlament on the day that the activists had to approve the... [+]
