Pakito Arriaran and Korta
I don't know if they met in Lapurdi. Enrique Gómez Korta was killed by the Spanish Basque Battalion on on 25 June 1979 in Baiona. Pakistan Arriaran fled to Iparralde in November 1978, where he stayed for a year, until he left to Venezuela to avoid the attacks that ended his life.
I was mixed on both the last weekend of September. On Friday, in Errekaleor we saw the documentary Korta, askathaizea (Julen Díaz de Argote, Egiari Zor and Hala Bedi). Korta arrived in Vitoria de León in the 1970s, and studied Euskera in Vitoria-Gasteiz (the closest emphasize that he learned very well) and became an ETA militant. Shortly after her death, Arrasate's partner Kristina Larrañaga gave birth to her son, Aratzez.
Aratz sent a magnificent video-message for the recital, which features the presence of the beautiful Basque town of the Labortana town. Three generations: León's grandfather, Gasteiztarra Korta, Labortano Aratz.
Korta found in Vitoria-Gasteiz the way to fight against the world and fight for the normalization of the Basque country. Pakito found a way to be Basque in the world in the struggle for El Salvador
On Saturday, the commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the murder of Pakito Arriaran in El Salvador was held in Arrasate, his hometown. Three women participated in the conversation. First of all, Miren Odriozola, Paco’s colleague and who had been in the guerrillas of El Salvador – to hear from Miren Odriozola, he was called Laura (Leire Ibarguren, Txalaparta). Look, he told us what his journey was like, what his guerrilla scrolls were like, and what the time was like. Then, Askapena brigadist Bea Ilardia told how in 2009, when they were with the brigade to shoot a video about Arriaran, they met Miren. How the neighbors of the village of Las Vuelta loved Juancito (Pakito's war name in El Salvador). How a handful of natives had climbed their grave. How Miren replaced the Ikurrina ajada with a new one, and how he mixed the land of Euskal Herria that he had with him with that of El Salvador. Finally, Aloña, another Basque who had been in the guerrillas, spoke of the current situation in El Salvador: President Nayib Bukele had as an excuse the war on Pandilla against El Salvador in a state of emergency of two years and three months (75,000 detainees without trial), and is investing and investing in the army to the detriment of economic development, education and health. Aloña, to explain the defeat of the FMLN, said that he had moved too far from the popular movement and that representative democracy is false.
Korta found in Vitoria-Gasteiz the way to fight against the world and fight for the normalization of the Basque country. Pakistan found a way to be Basque in the world in the battle of El Salvador. In Baiona I do not know, but in the streets of my interior they have been known.
