Buenos Aires, Argentina. “Manuel Irujo Ollo. A Legacy of Peace, Freedom, Justice and Democracy is comprised of a series of articles written for the occasion by referents of Basque nationalism in the Basque Country as well as in the Diaspora,” its editor Fernando Lizarbe, general coordinator of “Geroa Bai Argentina,” said. “It includes contributions by Uxue Barkos, former Lehendakari of Navarre, and Juan Jose Ibarretxe who presided the Basque Autonomous Community from 1999-2009, along with texts by Irujo himself, fragments of interviews and photographic material,” he explains.
According to Lizarbe, “Forty years after his passing, we think it is necessary to pay tribute to Manuel Irujo Ollo, whose values are still so valid. We stress his commitment to the democratic system, freedom and respect for the law, especially in these times of discredit, and crisis of the political class, and the growth of anti-democratic movements.”
“On the other hand, the book is another way of communication with Navarrese in the Diaspora, in addition to social media, to strengthen contact and maintain active participation. That is why we do not rule out similar publication in the future.”
The book is available digitally and can be read and downloaded for free by clicking on this link. “Geroa Bai Argentina,” has also announced that they will publish a paper edition by the end of the month, which will also be free of charge.
