The Araba Public Prosecutor's Office opens the way to reparation for the victims of March 3

Although two judicial proceedings were formally instituted, the prosecution notes that the murders of 3 March 1976 went unpunished. 

VITORIA, 01/03/2026.- El próximo 3 de marzo se cumplen cincuenta años de la masacre de Vitoria y todas las denuncias interpuestas para depurar responsabilidades y procesar penalmente a los inductores de las cargas policiales que se sucedieron ese día han fracasado, aunque las víctimas sí han logrado tras años de lucha ser reconocidas como tales por parte de las instituciones.

In connection with the massacre on 3 March, the Public Prosecutor's Office in Álava, in collaboration with the Office of the Attorney-General of the State, announced this morning the opening of voluntary judicial proceedings for the shooting of five workers by the National Police in Vitoria-Gasteiz on 3 March 1976.

It is a mechanism provided for in the Democratic Memory Act 2022. It is not a criminal proceeding in fact, but it will open the way for recognition of what happened and reparation for victims.
