German Rodríguez is killed by the Spanish Police in the Sanfermines of Pamplona

46

years ago

08 July 1978,

German Rodríguez was killed by the Spanish Police in the Sanfermines of Pamplona. On the pretext of having pulled out the pro-amnesty banner after the lidia, the police threw themselves into the bullring. The riots spread throughout the city and a 23-year-old is shot dead. He was a militant of the Revolutionary Communist League. Another 150 neighbors were injured. No one has ever been tried for the facts. The crowd met at Rodríguez's funeral, and Felipe González himself was there. Protests spread throughout the Basque Country.
