 Basque Government, Tamborrada, and Song of the Month

Dear Astero Readers,

I first want to thank you all for your continued patience with me as I learn more about this position and thank everyone for your helpful comments and recommendations.  Your input is truly appreciated! 

This week we will get to know our new friends in the Basque Government’s Office of Foreign Action, have an opportunity to learn more about Tamborrada, as well as find out what Elkar's song of the month is.

As part of the continuing transition in Eusko Jaurlaritza, Asier Vallejo was named this week as the Director of Basque Citizens and Communities Abroad, the post formerly held by Julian Celaya.  Vallejo’s supervisor, Marian Elorza, Secretary General of Foreign Action, was named in December to replace Guillermo Echenique.  We wish both of these individuals much success in their new posts and look forward to our continued collaboration.
