Work has begun on the San Francisco Church in Vitoria-Gasteiz, the building that will be the headquarters of the Memorial on March 3, to prevent further deterioration until "more complete rehabilitation work" can be undertaken.

On the eve of the 50th anniversary of the police massacre against workers holding an assembly in this church, the board of the Memorial Foundation on 3 March has announced the start of "a seriesof urgent actions ".



The work has begun with a budget of 54,000 euros and a six-week period dueto the "deterioration" of the church and the "risk of increasing damage if no immediate intervention is made".

"It is a question of acting as little and respectful as possible in the building so as not to damage the building until a more complete rehabilitation work is carried out, "said Gogora, member of this board.

At the December meeting, at the request of this body, the memorialist associations and the Provincial Council of Álava, it was agreed to conduct surveys in the gardens surrounding the church on the grounds that interesting remains related to the events of 3 March could be preserved.
