Congress has called for the declassification of the 1978 sanfermines documents
On Thursday , theplenary of the Congress of Deputies approved an initiative promoted by EH Bildu and agreed with PSOE and Suma, which calls on the Government to clarify the police charges that occurred in the 1978 sanfermines, to declassify documents relating to them and to recognise Germán Rodríguez and Joseba Barandiaran as victims who died in the events.
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.
The approved proposal contains a commitment to "contribute to the clarification of the facts by using the powers of the Government".
It is also intended to encourage the Government of Navarre and the Parliamentto respond to the request made from the Foral Community eta "in relation to the availability of matters, acts, documents, data and objects".
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".
It also encourages the Government to cooperate in other proceedings relating to similar incidents and to recognise the victims, such as the police action against workers in Vitoria on 3 March 1976 and the investigation of the events in which 5 people died.
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.
At that time, twojudicial files were opened, but they were dismissed and provisionally filed in 1983. If new evidence or testimony were provided, they could be reopened. Memory associations and Navarre institutions have been calling for documents related to these facts to be published for years.
