06 November 1986,

A bomb explodes in the Bilintx library of San Sebastian. It was the second time they had this kind of attack in a year. Governor Julen Elgorriaga, who would then be penalized by the GAL, justified the aggression as follows: “The fact is considered to have a political-social character.”

Some bookstores were also attacked in previous years by para-police groups at the far right in Spain. Several booksellers were also threatened during these years by the sale of books related to nationalism, including Luis Jiménez Aberasturi, president of the Gipuzkoa Book Sellers Association.
