just died Jose Antonio Labordeta.
What I always reference and example a man of integrity, freedom fighter, political, honest, committed and forthright writer and singer of the best batch.
For a few minutes this morning, on hearing of his death, I felt "more death than my life", said M. Hernández. I could not help. My admiration and affection for him were constant since the early 70's. Even we were on the same stage on one occasion to fight for freedom. Although we do not agree in person, I have always been present.
His voice and his example will continue to monitor forever.
Thanks for everything, José Antonio. As you said in your dismissal from the Congress of Deputies: "I'll see"

JA Labordeta
Some of his poems
.
Here are two videos. The first song of the same Labordeta "Song of Freedom" performed by him with Eduardo Paz, La Bullonera, and Joaquín Carbonell. It is an unofficial and although he disliked many "forces" the real anthem of Aragon and, above all, the anthem of many who share the struggle for that freedom in the worst of times and we still need to sing because freedom is achieved full of traps and old crust.
The second a famous Labordeta intervention in the English Parliament with which I was always totally agree (and so was very cautious)
