Barcellonans Rally for Home Rule and Basque Mayor Assassination
In Barcelona an estimated 50 000 antigovernment demonstrators flooded the streets for five hours seeking autonomy. Separately Basque militants from ETA assassinated Mayor Victor Legorburu of Galdacana, 25 miles west of Bilbao, wounding his bodyguard as part of a campaign against nonrenouncing mayors. Catalan protestors clashed with police while ETA claimed responsibility for earlier attacks on a printing business. The protest, organized by the Assembly of Catalonia, marked a major show of support for regional autonomy in a region of about seven million people once granted autonomy in 1932 and later abolished by Franco.
