Joseba Elosegi committed suicide and threw himself into the Atano fronton of San Sebastian screaming “Viva Euskadi liberada!”, profiting that there was Franco. He did not die, but was seriously injured and sentenced to 7 years in prison. He explained why his action in the prison book I want to die for something.
Previously, he had placed an ikurrina at the tip of the cathedral of the Good Shepherd, among others. He was then the senator of the PNV and, after the division, went to EA.
