Juan Guti\u00e9rrez (Madrid 1932 – 2026).<\/h4>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text css=””]Doctor of Civil Engineering and Doctor of Philosophy; recipient of the German Federal Cross of Merit and the Gernika Prize for Peace and Reconciliation.
\n1955<\/strong> As a student representative from Spain\u2019s higher engineering schools, he succeeded in persuading them to join the general strike called by the universities following the death of Ortega y Gasset.
\n1967<\/strong> As a student representative at the University of Hamburg, he took part in the debates and protests in Germany that preceded the French May 1968.
\n1971<\/strong> He worked as a social worker for Spanish and Portuguese workers at a shipyard in Hamburg; he also published the emigrant magazine *La Voz Nueva* in Spanish, German and Turkish.
\n1975\u20131981<\/strong> I was a rather active member of a Spanish party \u2013 the ORT \u2013 which claimed to be Maoist whilst in fact being Stalinist; I even became a member of its central committee, but I broke with its discipline by leading a dissident group that introduced criticism into the party, leading to its dissolution a few months later.
\n1984\u20131986<\/strong> I published the magazine *Begi Haundi* (\u2018Big-Eyed Squid\u2019).
\n1987\u20132001<\/strong>: At the request of the Basque Parliament, I founded the Gernika Gogoratuz (GGG) research centre for peace and conflict resolution, and served as its first director. Through GGG, I took part for ten years in an informal mediation process between ETA and the Spanish Government, the Basque Government, the PSOE, the PNV, HB, EE, EA and the PP; I contacted the German Foreign Ministry and succeeded in getting the German President to send his ambassador in Madrid to read out a message at the first meeting of the relatives of bombing victims organised by GGG, acknowledging the atrocity and \u201ccalling for reconciliation\u201d; I was part of the team that promoted peace education through the resolution of real conflicts affecting the participants; and I advised mediation teams in conflicts in Colombia, Northern Ireland, Croatia\/Serbia, the United States, Guatemala and Australia, whilst also learning from them.
\n2005\u20132013<\/strong> I was a member and adviser to the \u201811-M Association of Victims of Terrorism\u2019.
\n2011\u20132021<\/strong> I have led the Memory and the Commons Working Group at Medialab-Prado, where we have developed the \u2018Strands of Living Peace\u2019 (HPV) project and established the HPV Association, which I currently chair and which is currently seeking to become an international network.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”42270″ img_size=”full” css=””][vc_text_separator title=”” css=””][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”42283″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” css=”” link=”https:\/\/youtube.com\/shorts\/-MlUvDze4To?si=VtjTFdpe4zqDwWJq”][vc_single_image image=”42304″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=””][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”42261″ img_size=”full” css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_text_separator title=”” css=””][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”42392″ img_size=”medium” onclick=”custom_link” css=”” link=”https:\/\/santieraso.com\/author\/erasobeloki\/”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text css=””]Santiago Eraso Beloki.
