Watching: Sanfermines 78

Overview

At the end of the bullfight, an incident occurs between those displaying a pro-amnesty banner in the ring and a section of the crowd booing them. Suddenly, some 200 riot police appear, ready for action. The members of the clubs, children and adults alike, take refuge as best they can in the stands and throw everything they can at them. There are many injuries. When the forces of "order" finally withdraw, more indignant people gather in the streets. It is then that Germán Rodríguez is shot dead. The battle rages on throughout the night. Hundreds are injured, many by firearms.
