The Club Cantabrico Association, founded in 1891, is one of the most exclusive associations in San Sebastian, since women cannot be partners, and in the barley do not touch drums or barrels; the few women who leave acquire other roles – flagged, cantinera, etc. The website of the association has not yet announced the far-right act, but the editorial has already announced it.

In addition, the SND has announced the event with hate messages. According to the editorial, the presentation will be “a unique opportunity to pay tribute to almost 1,000 deaths of the murderous group, even more so when today they want to present themselves as an unimportant conflict”. In addition, the ultraderechist editorial notes that the presence of the event in San Sebastian “is of double importance because it is the cradle of the terrorist band”.

Romero also works in the ultraderechist media ÑTV, in which he recently interviewed Longueira. The interview was conducted in the context of the book presented at the Club Cantabrico and, among other things, the author generally called the dictator Francisco Franco and said that EH general coordinator Bildu, Arnaldo Otegi, should remain in prison.
