Mayors in struggle. This book gathers the direct testimony of a group of mayors who were really devoted to their job and worked bravely to achieve the wishes of the country they represented provisionally. They tried that these requests were heard during such critical years after Franco´s reign. Assuming a political responsibility which no institution was ready to face and together with Telesforo Monzón; they fought to get amnesty, they promoted Txiberta meetings in spring,1977 and they also negotiated the legalization of the use of the “Ikurriña” (Basque flag). This book does not only aim to gather those mayors´ experiences but above all, it wishes to rescue them from historical oblivion and pay a little homage to all those who take part in our history somehow and will be remembered forever as Bergara Group.
