The Leioa City Council has today commemorated the Day of Memory with an act of remembrance and tribute to all victims. The event took place at 10:00 AM next to the Leioaren Indarra sculpture.
The mayor of Leioa, Iban Rodriguez Etxebarria, led the ceremony, accompanied by members of the Municipal Corporation and residents. The mayor placed a bouquet of flowers by the sculpture, followed by a minute of silence and a musical performance by the Municipal Conservatory.
The Day of Memory has been commemorated in Euskadi every November 10th since 2010, when Basque institutions agreed to establish this date as a day of remembrance and recognition for victims of terrorism and violence. November 10th was chosen as no fatal attacks had occurred in Euskadi up to that date.
Since then, this day serves as an opportunity to remember all victims and advocate for memory as a tool for building coexistence based on freedom, justice, respect, and human rights.
