New basque organization: Eleka

A new basque organization was founded the past week in Portugalete (Bizkaia south basque country): Eleka.

They are inside of "Abertzale Left" and they have the aim of promoting communist culture in Basque Country. They have "the aim of promoting critical consciousness, political militancy and the power to organize of workers". Their priority is going to be the
ideological preparation. So they are preparing "popular schools", speechs, activities etc. The first activities are going to be made in Donostia (Gipuzkoa south basque country) and Bilbo (Bizkaia south basque country).

They support the independence and socialism. They have also talked about other basque militants that were inside of that political tradition: Txabi Etxebarrieta (ETA militant killed by Guardia Civil), Jose Miguel Beñaran Argala (ETA militant killed by spanish secret services) etc.

During the presentation of the organization there were members of Sortu (pro-independence and socialist), LAB (pro-independence and socialist workers union) and Askapena (basque internationalists).
