Sanferseeds-78: remember! the association, the relatives of Germán Rodríguez, the people seriously injured in the events of the Sanfermines of 1978 and the Federation of Peñas de Pamplona denounce the “passivity” and “laziness” shown by these judicial authorities with the complaint.

They claim that this file shows the complicity of justice with the policy of impunity of the State and the institutions to treat this crime. The Association confirms that all the complaints they have raised in connection with the events of the Sanfermines of 1978 have been rejected and filed, arguing that there is insufficient evidence of police responsibility in crime. However, the association has underlined that in the bullring thousands of people witnessed the events and that in the murder of Rodríguez there were dozens of witnesses.

They denounce that the judges washed their hands and submitted themselves to the version of Martín Villa, who said: “our are defects, their crimes.”

They denounce the unfair reasons that justice has used not to value these facts and to avoid the answer. They have therefore announced that the order for the file will be appealed to the Constitutional Court and that they will submit a similar complaint to the previous one, so that they can judge the merits of the case and answer some questions.

They conclude by saying that they will continue to promote judicial, institutional and social initiatives until truth, justice and reparation are reached for the events of the Sanfermines of 1978 and their victims.
