The San Alberto de Pamplona Tanatorium will today be the scene of the vigil of the Foral police, where from the first hour of the morning there has been a constant influx of family, friends and colleagues. The driver of the truck injured in the accident has been discharged but is in shock.
From the first hour of the morning in the San Alberto Tanatorio in Pamplona /Iruña, the movementof those who have come to greet the five Foral police officers who died on Wednesday in a car accident in Elgoibar has been constant.
A National Police intervention team has also come to the scene and conveyed its support to the law enforcement agencies and deposited a wreath of flowers.
Among the people who came to the wake was the chief of the Foral Police , Ivan Ortueta, who stressed that the dead officers were "very dear" to the organization and that "the members of the intervention unit are particularly affected", since it was in this unit that most of the career was developed by the deceased officers.
Previously, Ortueta, together with other commanders and officers of the Foral Police, attended the Navarre Parliament , where an institutional declaration of tribute to the murdered officers was read and a minute's silence was observed in their memory. In the Navarre Chamber there were emotional moments of sympathy and hugs between colleagues and between police and authorities.
The head of the Foral Police has said that "they are trying to get through this hard trance" by supporting their families and colleagues, while appreciating the "many" expressions of support, solidarity and affection they are receiving from all the public institutions of the State and Navarre, the autonomous bodies and civil society.
Last goodbye to the officers.
Following the proceedings in the ACV, the bodies of the deceased arrived in Navarre last night, protected by colleagues from the Foral Police. The wake will be open today. On Friday afternoon, at 7 p.m., a joint funeral will be held in the cathedral of the Navarre capital, and next week, possibly, a civil tribute will be held, organised by the Navarre Government.
The driver of the truck has been discharged.
The driver of the truck that was injured on Wednesday in the accident in Elgoibar has already been discharged from Donostia Hospital, as confirmed to EITB by the company Dabatrans de Muger (Lapurdi) where the truck driver works, a family company from which they claim that the driver suffers muscle pain and although he suffers minor injuries, he is still in shock for the death of five men.
