Xosé Tarrío González - Que la lucha no muera (ES)

Faced with the regime's brutality, the dehumanization of their lives, the torture endured by both him and his fellow prisoners, and the sorrow flooding the depths of their souls, Xosé decided to bring this barbarity out from behind the walls through his writing, giving life to *Huye, hombre, huye* (Run, Man, Run).

This book of protest—a plea against the penal and prison systems and an expression of a yearning for freedom—became an act of defiance, a furious, defiant spit in the very faces of those who perpetrated and sanctioned the repression; the work was translated into Greek, Italian, German, English, and French, and published in Argentina. In addition to this book, he wrote numerous texts on various subjects—primarily prison-related, but also analyses of current events in the outside world, which he followed with both interest and concern. He composed poetry, much of it lovingly dedicated to his devoted mother. He also created numerous paintings characterized by vivid colors—a reaction to his confinement and the drabness of prison life. Here, we present this material alongside a chapter dedicated to Xosé, in which family, friends, and comrades share special memories of him, revealing a palpable mix of affection and grief. Finally, his mother, Pastora, contributes a deeply moving introduction in which she explains what was done to her son that ultimately led to his death.

Finally, for this new edition, we have included a series of letters addressed to his mother from various penitentiaries... Xosé conveys his feelings without sugarcoating them—sharing what fills him with both hatred and love: the prison system, drugs, the F.I.E.S. regime, the patriarchy, the State, society, injustice, solidarity, love, friendship, his mother, and anarchy... He was always ready to help his people, stand up for them, and demand what is just. Having passed through numerous state prisons, this Galician insurgent knew exactly what he was talking about, being one of the first prisoners to suffer the F.I.E.S. regime firsthand. His ungovernable spirit and solidarity with other rebels led to a barrage of disciplinary reports, sanctions, humiliations, body searches, solitary confinement, abuse, transfers, and beatings... yet none of this stopped him from attempting to escape time and again... He was a social rebel, an anarchist through and through; he never backed down from his ideals, nor did he sell out for anything or anyone. He always pressed forward with his head held high, fighting until we are all free... His entire life was an act of pure rebellion—something for which he was never forgiven... He ultimately chose to end his life in a wretched manner, dying in prison on January 2, 2005.
Cheché, we will always remember you.
