11 April 1947,

The giant flag of the Spanish Republic was placed in Arrasate at night on the pole of the 25-meter telegraph. The next day the day was clear and the surprise was very much in expectation. He also moved from neighboring towns to see the flag, until at noon the famous carlist Ricardo Zabaleta climbed to the pole and pulled the flag. He was given a pistol as a prize at the barracks for withdrawing the flag. Fermin Arabaolaza was the one who put the flag.
