Sin tiempo para el odio

On January 23, 1995, ETA assassinated Gregorio Ordóñez with a shot to the back of the head while he was eating in a bar in downtown San Sebastián. That shot not only ended the life of a city councilor, deputy mayor, and Basque parliamentarian destined to transform his city, but it also forever changed the life of his sister, Consuelo Ordóñez. These pages are born from the wound of that loss and show us the two lives of a woman who decided to banish hatred and begin a constructive fight against terror. With a serene, courageous, and profoundly honest voice, she recounts the long journey that led her to transform her pain into an unwavering commitment to truth and justice. Consuelo Ordóñez sees herself reflected in all victims of serious human rights violations, and her cause is that of the victims of all forms of terrorism. Her testimony demonstrates the need to preserve the democratic consensus that has cost so many lives to achieve, because "a single spark is enough to ignite the fire of hatred." Memory, on the other hand, must be defended every day.
