  "account": "Xosé Manuel Beiras Torrado, a historic figure in Galician nationalism, passed away on Thursday morning at the age of 90 in his home in Brión, A Coruña. He was remembered for his life dedicated to opposing power and defending Galicia. Beiras was one of the founders of both the Partido Socialista Galego (PSG) and the Bloque Nacionalista Galego (BNG), which he led to achieve a record of 18 deputies in the Galician Parliament in 1997, making it the second-largest force. However, disagreements within the BNG led him to leave the party in 2012 and found Anova Irmandade Nacionalista, a movement striving for alliances with left-leaning forces at the national level. After facing internal disputes among the parties he was part of, Beiras reconsidered his relationship with state forces and sought to rejoin the BNG, supporting the candidacy of Ana Pontón in the 2024 autonomous elections. With the news of his death, the family announced that a final tribute can be held at the Museo do Pobo Galego from 12:00 PM on Friday, October 9th. His friends, who call for a public, open homage ceremony at 4:00 PM on the same day, appreciate the respect for Beiras' personal identity and ask that no visits be made to his family home.",
