Arana Prize for Bieter

The Mayor of Boise, Dave Bieter, has been awarded the Arana Prize.

He is the second descendant of Basque immigrants to the USA who wins this award.

Him and the previous winner, Pete Cenarrusa, spearheaded a Memorial from the State of Idaho that supported the peaceful self-determination of the Basque Country.

Of course, Francoist minded idiots from Spain got a coronary over this, well, too bad for them.

By the way, Boise, home of the largest Basque community in the USA will be hosting the Jaialdi this year, it is the biggest event for the Basque American community and it takes place once every 5 years.

Zorionak Dave!
