The Government of Navarra recognised last June Ángel Berrueta and his family as victims of police violence. The widow and the four sons of Berrueta have also been recognized for the aggressions and threats they have received for years and now the City Council of Pamplona/Iruña has placed a plate in memory of Berrueta.
Berrueta was killed on 13 March 2004 by a police officer and his son in a bakery in the San Juan de Luz district (France). He was killed when, following the attacks of 11 March in Madrid, he refused to put a cartel against ETA. Since then, and during the trial against the Police, his family suffered insults, threats, telephone calls or pressures and the suffering of the family lasted for years.
Not only that, over these twenty years, the Angel gogoan platform has put commemorative plates on several occasions, but they have attacked and removed them over and over again. A decade ago, the Municipal Police removed the plaque placed by the area's neighbors. Now, however, the initiative has been created by the government team itself and Berrueta will have the official recognition of the city.
The plate will be placed on Friday on Martín Azpilikueta street in the San Juan de Luz district. The event will take place at 12:00 noon and will be attended by the Mayor of Pamplona, Joseba Asiron, at the opening of the monument.
