Hasta que me mates

The life of Rafaela Romero Pozo, a Basque politician with roots in Extremadura, is a life crossed by violence and marked by the fact of being a woman. A passionate defender of her socialist ideals, in this book she narrates -in the hands of the journalist Ana Erostarbe- some of the most intimate and painful passages of her personal and political life, and shares her vision of vicarious violence, mistreatment or ETA terrorism. It is, in all cases, of violence experienced in the first person, which Rafaela shares emphatically, humbly and bravely. "It is necessary for the truth to emerge for the world to change," the author and protagonist maintain in unison, throughout the unspoken dialogue that runs through the pages of this book, in which the word is honored in its deepest and most human sense. It is, without a doubt, a text so cleansed of all traces of sentimentality, as it is overflowing with emotion, that, from a personal and mature look at our society, confronts readers with their own positions on the controversial issues that addresses, while shedding new light on realities that are often hidden or silenced. Until you kill me is, in short, a valuable contribution to one of the most urgent debates of our time: how does personal transformation contribute to the transformation of the society in which we live?
