A 53-year-old Racing de Santander fan died on Saturday after an altercation in Plaza Simón Cabarga with a man wearing an Albacete shirt. Both are locals of the city, and the victim hit his head upon falling, passing away at Hospital Marqués de Valdecilla. The alleged aggressor was arrested at the scene.
Around 400 to 1000 people marched silently through central Santander on March 22 demanding accountability for the collapse of a walkway at El Bocal that killed six on March 3. Organized by neighborhood, environmental, and social groups, the protest started at the Government Delegation and ended at City Hall. Participants called for truth, transparency, and prevention of such an avoidable tragedy.
