A great march between the New Cathedral and the Plaza de la Virgen Blanca and, to conclude, an event will be held this year that will bring together artists to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the March 3 massacre in Vitoria-Gasteiz.

On Monday, the March 3 Association and the ESK, Steilas, LAB and ELA unions presented the joint events that will take place on March 3, 50 years after the police killed five workers.

The traditional floral offering and homage of the March 3 monolith will be held at 5 p.m., but this time there will be no demonstration, as it will be replaced by a march between the New Cathedral, the scene of the mass funeral ofthe deceased workers in 1976, and the Plaza de la Virgen Blanca.

In a press appearance, organizers have read a statement explaining that they want to remember those funerals this 50th anniversary.

They have called for this meeting to be a "pluralistic, popular and intergenerational space open to people of all ages and realities, so that everyone can participate in freedom" and become "a safe space for vindication" .

To this end, the organizers have demanded "guarantees" and "internal measures" from the Ertzaintza to ensure "free, mass and non-violent participation" because "police abuses of other years cannot be repeated".

As every year, the demands of 3 March are aimed at continuing to demand "truth, justice, reparation and guarantees of non-repetition".

The unions and the March 3 Association have recalled that thegeneral strike of 17March will mark the month of March to demand an interprofessional minimum wage of its own. "As in 1976, to demand a decent minimum wage for all workers," the statement states.
