Jose Manuel Balentziaga Balentxiren nortasunaz

prezioa ::16€
Behartsuenen, zokoratuenen eta zapalduenen alde borrokan tinko iraun zuen apaiz katolikoa genuen Jose Manuel Balentziaga Añon Balentxi (1935- 2006). Erromako Eliza horren buruetako askok –baita gertuen ditugunek ere– segur aski nahiago izango zuten bere apaizgoa bertan behera utzi izan balu. Zen bezala zelako makina bat debeku ezarri zizkioten, behintzat. Baina Balentxik, bizitzako beste arlo askotan bezala, zailtasunak zailtasun, horretan ere ez zuen amore eman. Horretaz, eta haren bizitzako beste esparru askotaz mintzo da Txalaparta argitaletxea eta Herria 2000 Elizaren artean plazaratutako Balentxi. Hamalaugarren apostolua izenburuko liburua. Jexuxmari Zalakainek prestatu du liburu horren mamia, baina Balentxiren lagun askok –eta etsai batzuk ere bai– parte hartu dute lanean. Lehenik eta behin, Jexux Arrizabalagak, Sabino Ormazabalek, Martin Ansok eta Txus Congilek, sustatzaile gisa. Eta beste frankok apaiz guztiz berezi haren bizitzako urratsen datuak, pasadizioak eta era guztietako gogoetak azalduz. Liburuak badu Balentxi berari hitza ematen dion tarterik ere: Herria 2000 Elizan, Egin eta Gara egunkarietan eta bestetan plazaratu zituen lanena.

«Apostolua izan zen Balentxi, horretan ez dago dudarik»
Zer suposatu du zuretzat liburu honek?
Balentxi lagun adiskide maiteari buruz idaztea, beste edozeren gainetik, atsegin gozoa izan da. Baina betebehar bat ere bai. Izan ere, Balentxiren figura hurrengo belaunaldietan gogoratzea merezi duen horietakoa da, eta haren memoria idatziz uztea, nirea ez ezik, beste askoren zeregina ere izan da. Ze, liburu hau ez da nirea bakarrik. Balentxi ezagutu eta zerbait idazteko aukera eta gogoa izan dutenez gain, harekin zerikusia izan duten guztiena ere bada.
Zer diozu jarritako tituluaz?
Apostolua izan zen Jose Manuel Balentziaga Añon Balentxi, horretan ez dago dudarik, Jesus Nazaretekoak bere ikasle gisa aukeratutakoen espiritu berberaz jokatu baitzuen beti, libre eta ausart. Hamabi lagun hartu zituen berekin Palestinako profetak; bat ustel atera zitzaion, Judas Iskariote, saldu zuena. Haren ordez Bernabe aukeratu zuten lehen kristauek, Paulo gero. Hamairu apostolu osotara. Jorge Oteizak Arantzazuko komentuko ateburuan hamalau apostolu ezarri zituen Pietatearen inguruan. Zein ote hamalaugarrena? Liburu honen egileen arabera, zalantzarik gabe hamalaugarren apostolua Balentxi da.
Arrazoiak?
Euskal apaiz matxinoa izan zelako: behartsuen hurkoa, preso guztien anaia, Eliza ofizialaren zigorra, drogak jotakoen defendatzailea, zapaltzaileen etsaia, adinduen itsumutila, etorkinen babeslea... Euskararen maitalea ere izan zen. Balentxi beti ibili zen euskararekin lehian, ikasi nahirik setati.
