58
years ago

15 September 1966,

The priest of Gamiz, Juan Luis Jauregi, refused to give Mass for the Spanish flag carried by the municipal authorities. In the same Gamiz, two years earlier, the priest Patxi Bilbao complained that the Spanish flag caused the distribution among the parishioners. Both had to testify to the Public Order Tribunal at the current National Hearing. Eleven cases of Basque clergy opposed Franco. Even in 1960, 339 priests published the document denouncing the oppression of the Basque Country.
