We are shocked to hear the news of the untimely death of Comrade Igor Urrutikoetxea, who was a valiant fighter and outstanding leader of the working class. As the International Secretary of LAB/Basque country and the general secretary of the TUI Metal & Mining, he has contributed immensely to the movement. Comrade Igor Urrutikoetxea’s unshakable, ideological conviction and unflinching loyalty to the class oriented trade unionism.
He was one of the important leaders of the WFTU. On behalf of the Asia-Pacific affiliates of WFTU and on my own behalf offer condolences to this young and energetic leader and also to the bereaved family members.
