The initiative has been successful with the vote in favour of most of the parties represented in Congress, PP and Vox voted against and UPN abstained.

In addition, the Government is urged to initiate the process of amending the 1968 Official Secrets Act, "moving towards a new legal framework based on transparency, enabling the declassification of documentation, clarifying and knowing the truth about various situations and events, such as the sanfermines of 78".

On July 8, 1978, Pamplona was in the midst ofthe sanfermines. The National Police entered the bullring of Pamplona z on the occasion of a banner that was on it, and then the riots continued in the streets of the city. The young Germán Rodriguez was shot dead and six others were injured.
