17 May 1963,

Action at the monument to the deaths of the First World War in Baiona. The Front de Liberation Basque group replaced the word Aberria in its text Aux bayonnais morts pour la Patrie (to the Bayoneses who died from the homeland) as useless. It is estimated that 800 descendants died in the French army during the First World War. They also painted on the monument "Gora Euzkadi".

Rebel Henri Grenet denounced the city.
