years ago

16 January 1980,

Karlos Saldise Korta was killed by a gunman from the police group Lezon Armed Spanish Groups. Saldis was involved in many social movements of the people. In recent years the para-police groups have begun the campaign against the leftist militants of Euskal Herria, with threats to Carlos. He was beaten two shots at his house door.

The GAE is one of the denominations that the Spanish secret services used for the dirty war between 1975 and 1982, made up of extreme right-wing members. These groups killed at least 70 people in the Basque Country during this period.
