The March 3, 1976, Euskal Herria, one of their cities, Vitoria-Gasteiz, suffered the worst attack in its history experienced the working class. Five workers were killed and over hundred injured, most by gunfire, as a result of shots fired by the English armed police to leave a church, previously gassed, which was held a meeting of striking workers.
In an era devoid of freedom, in which there was no right to strike, demonstration, meeting, etc.. and under a harsh regime dictatorship (Franco had died a few months earlier) in Vitoria-Gasteiz was developing a strike movement widely supported by several companies, based on a purely social and labor demands.
Assembly
After two months long strike and two-day general strike on March 3 was convened a day of total unemployment. This strike was supported by almost all workers, both struggling companies and others that supported him in solidarity, as well as trade, services, students, housewives and the general public. Since morning, the police intervened strongly to any hint of collusion or demonstration, even firing live ammunition, resulting in the first bullet wounds.

Aggression

The crowd gathered there for fear of being battered and abused on their way out, refused to abandon the religious compound. It should be emphasized that the temples were protected by the Concordat, so could not act or access inside the armed forces, unless urgent necessity.

Murdered
The result, five workers killed and a hundred injured, many seriously. Themselves, (the police) were glad to have fired more than a thousand shots, had produced a slaughter and have contributed to the increased beat of history. Existing recordings were collected through the FM frequency channel and kept the police today.
Initially, as a result of hospital births being sent to court people served, both deceased and injured as a result of shootings and assaults, preliminary investigations were opened. Summaries opened, after several tours of various courts, finally ended in the military courts, which, while recognizing that the facts considered, were originally characterized as criminal homicide, case was dismissed for failure are sufficient grounds for They accuse specific persons. Subsequent complaints to state liability, made by some concerned, were not addressed.
