Alberto Muñagorri: vida y vértigo del niño de la bomba
En 1982, un explosivo de ETA en una mochila destrozó el cuerpo de un niño de 10 años en Rentería. Su imagen en blanco y negro marcó a una generación de vascos. Hoy, un libro de Ander Izagirre cuenta su historia, que es la de la violencia en Euskadi
On the afternoon of June 26, 1982, a bomb detonated in the middle of a street, leaving a pool of thick blood on the sidewalk where a 10-year-old boy lay motionless. Sara Berdasco, who had been hearing the explosion resonate through the old town, was relieved that the windows in the living room were open. She feared that if they had been closed, the shrapnel would have shattered the glass.
The explosion had devastated the body of her young son, Alberto Muñagorri. His left leg was shattered, his ears were blasted, his right eye was blind and the left eye was damaged. The child's body was filled with bullets. The sound of the explosion and the wail of the ambulance faded into silence, leaving behind the persistent soundtrack of Rentería, Gipuzkoa, and countless other Basque towns from the violent era of ETA. This is the story of Alberto Muñagorri.
