Today, 27 May, it is 91 years since the Ategorrieta massacre. In 1931, shortly after the proclamation of the Second Spanish Republic, the Pasaitarras fishermen were on strike and on 27 May organized a march from Trintxerpe to the Center of San Sebastian. About Miraculous, the military let the workers pass, but they were told of the presence of the Civil Guard in Ategorrieta.
Upon arriving at Ategorrieta, the Civil Guard began firing and killed seven strikers and 33 others wounded.

The Socialist Council San Sebastian has published in Gedar Langile Kazeta a leaflet on the facts, which can be read in the following link.
