The Basque government remembers the bombings that “destroyed” Gernika 85 years ago today, when Ukraine and its “martyred cities” suffered “the same barbarity”. In addition, he has made an appeal to “remember, so that something similar never happens again” to what the Biscayan city of Gernika suffered on April 26, 1937, and has demanded the “cessation of armed aggression” in Ukraine.

The spokesman for the Basque government, Bingen Zupiria, has presided over the reading of a statement from the Executive recalling that, on this day, 85 years ago, Gernika “was destroyed in an aerial bombardment that lasted three uninterrupted hours”. “It was market day, hundreds of people died and the provincial town was destroyed,” he says.
