We reproduce here extracts from the eulogy of Manolo Garà at the LucÃa’s funeral on December 20, 2000 in Madrid.
"LucÃa was above all our friend. We noted all through our lives that when we needed her, either in joy or in sorrow, she was with us and gave us all that she had - her company, her words, her encouragement; her hospitality...
She struggled every day as a communist, internationalist, resistant without a pause even in the face of defeats. She was always present without expecting any recognition, any promotion to leadership posts: in the Fourth International; in the LCR; at the beginning of the feminist movement when it was still ignored by the majority of the left; in the trade unions; in Izquierda Unida and in Espacio Alternativo; on innumerable occasions and in many projects. Lucia was a part of ourselves, that part to which we will always be true."
