German Rodriguezen hilarriak 2016an jaso zuen erasoa.

The film in tribute to Germán Rodríguez has been attacked for the umpteenth time. It's been the weekend. Everything points out that unidentified aggressors have tried to remove the iron by a lever. They don't get it, but in the effort, they break one of the corners. The Sanferminak 78 Gogoan platform denounces what happened with a note.

The trail and the memory plate of the young Pamplona militant of the LKI killed by the Spanish National Police during the Sanfermines of 1978 are on Orreaga Street. The following text is available in both Basque and Spanish: “German Rodriguez Saiz oroimenez. The police shot him to death on July 8, 1978.”

This is not the first time they have attacked the monument. SF78 The Gogoan platform recalls that for the first time it was reduced by hammer blow. A pump was then placed. In 2005, being Mayor Yolanda Barcina, he was dispossessed with the excuse of some works, “and citizen pressure was fundamental to be able to recover and recover them”. Gogoan’s sculpture has also been attacked. His plaque reads: “The police suffered in the Sanfermines of 1978 in memory of the victims of the attack.”

Both Germán Rodríguez and Gogoan State were declared a Memory Space by the Government of Navarra, by agreement of June 18, 2019. According to the Foral Law of Spaces of Historical Memory of Navarra 2018, “it is up to the Foral Administration of Navarra to guarantee the conservation and protection of memory spaces”. The gravestone and plate of Germán were placed by agreement of the City of Pamplona, so the property is of the City Hall itself.
