Jose Angel Gonzalez, owner of the Aldana bar in Alonsotegi, dies at 89

In 1980, the far-right Spanish Armed Groups detonated a bomb at the door of the Aldana bar, killing four people, leaving the case unresolved and untried.

José Ángel González, owner of the Aldana barin Alonsotegi, died last night at the age of 89. Almost 46 years ago, on 20 January 1980, the group of far-right Spanish Armed Groups (GAE) detonated a bomb carrying 6 kilos of Goma-2 at the door of the bar, killing four of the 15 people inside the bar: Liborio Arana Gomez (54 years old), Pacifico Fika Zuloaga (39), Maria Paz Armiño (38) and Manuel Santola57.

The bomb was placed at the door of the bar, and as a result of the terrible blow, a large part of the building collapsed and had to be demolished.

The Aldana bar was frequented by clients of patriotic ideology and was threatened several times by Gonzalez until the threat was met and attacked.  

The GAE took over the attack and José Amedo(a former police officer convicted of State terrorism) took over the investigation, but the facts have not been clarified or those responsible tried.  

EITB's documentary about the attack is shown on the Aldana 1980 Explosion of Silence platform à la carte.
