The memorialist associations of Pamplona have once again taken to the streets to demand the demolition of the Monument to the Fallen and to express their opposition to the agreement of EH Bildu, PSN and Geroa Bai to keep the Franco building standing and to establish the Memorial Museum inside.
The marchstarted this afternoon from the vicinity of the monument, with people carrying photos of mass graves in front of the banner and the remains of repressed people.
Many protesters have carried flags with republican flags, ikurriñas and union logo, while chanting slogans like "Long live the anti-fascist struggle" or "There is no other way out than to bring down."
Members of the Contigo-Zurekin Party have attended the demonstration, which is part of the Pamplona City Council Government Team with EH Bildu and Geroa Bai, but is opposed to the agreement to keep the Fallen Building standing.
Shortly before the march began, spokeswoman Yolanda Anso lamented the "mistake" of EH Bildu, PSN and Geroa Bai and called on representatives to "be with memory, history and associations."
"They still have time to correct this mistake and put it on the right side of history, joining the victims of Francoism," Anso said.
