Joseba Elosegi, along with some friends, placed the ikurrina at the tip of the Cathedral of the Good Shepherd of San Sebastian. So he spent six months in jail. He was a warrior in the War of 36, but was known in 1970 for committing suicide before Franco on the Atano fronton. In 1984 he recovered the ikurrina of the Itxarkundiaga battalion at the Madrid Army Museum. Earlier, with other voters at the base of Rota, he turned around a portrait of Franco.
