The general secretary of the PSE-EE, Eneko Andueza, has demanded this Tuesday, on the occasion of Memory Day, that remembering what was lived through with terrorism in Euskadi be turned into "resistance against hate speech, against those who justify violence, or those who intend to take steps back."
Through a statement, Andueza has said that PSE-EE members attend this new commemoration of Memory Day "being aware of the time that has passed" since this institutional day was approved 16 years ago.
The Socialist leader has emphasized that his party has always been "committed to the victims of terrorism and other forms of violence," and that he continues "determined to strengthen a coexistence that keeps the pain and suffering in mind and that can look to the future with hope."
Tribute events on Memory Day
Andueza, who took part in the institutional event on Memory Day held in the Basque Parliament, has urged Basque citizens to remember and pay tribute to all the victims in ceremonies such as the one, promoted by the memory institute Gogora, that will be held at 17:30 in Donostia-San Sebastián.
The PSE leader has reiterated that "it is necessary for a society like the Basque one, which has suffered for decades from terrorism, to turn its memory into resistance against hate speech, against those who justify violence or those who intend to take steps back."
