ETA attack victims exhibition in Elche
Overview
The Lonja Medieval in Elche is hosting a traveling exhibition titled ‘12 vidas. Una herida permanente’ (12 lives. A permanent wound) to commemorate the twelve Civil Guard officers killed by ETA in a 1986 car bomb attack at Madrid’s Plaza de la República Dominicana.
Organized by the Elche City Council, the Valencian Ministry of Justice, Transparency and Participation, and the Foundation of Victims of Terrorism, the exhibition utilizes photographs, historical documents, personal objects, and testimonies. The initiative seeks to recover the individual stories of the deceased—including two victims from the Valencian Community, Miguel Ángel Cornejo Ros and Santiago Iglesias Godino—while illustrating the impact of terrorism on families and survivors.
Local officials, including Mayor Pablo Ruz, have emphasized the importance of preserving historical memory and passing the consequences of terrorism to new generations. The exhibition is free to the public and is scheduled to run until mid-November 2026.
