The review of the archive has made it possible to recover some striking anecdotes and events related to the first president of democracy, Carlos Garaikoetxea.

One of the most curious cases is that of 1999 in Vitoria-Gasteiz, when the then acting mayor, José Ángel Cuerda, decided to name a street in the city Garaikoetxea to pay tribute to it. However, the tribute had a very short journey, and thename was removed shortly thereafter: it lasted only 28 days. 

Another notorious incident occurred in 1986, when it became known that Garaikoetxea's own phone had been intercepted illegally , when it was reported that the line had been crossed with a Orio mason to be intercepted.

It was confirmed by the Telefónica company itself and had judicial consequences. Two Ertzaintza agents and an official were found guilty of the telephone "puncture", which was one of the most controversial chapters about the president.
