Gamazada

[1] The protests to protect the Basque fueros started in Vitoria-Gasteiz, and continued in Biscay, these in Navarre, and finally in San Sebastián, the latter ending tragically in 1893.

[1] In this climate, a two-day episode of armed revolt also occurred, starting during the night of June 1–2, led by Sergeant José López Zabalegui, head of the detachment from the Infanta Isabel Fort in Puente la Reina, along with two other soldiers and two residents of Obanos and another two from Puente la Reina.

This event was condemned by El Eco de Navarra, describing it as a "demented act carried out by seven fools", and the Navarrese Government assured the Civil Governor, Andrés García Gómez de la Serna, that this was an isolated incident and that they "unanimously reject violent acts".

The Navarrese Diputación handed out pamphlets asking for "order" and a "unanimous attitude of protest against Article 17 of the Budget Bill.

However, the economic claims were not the only ones being made, as shown by the different slogans:[1] The Pamplona Orfeón sang the Gernikako arbola to end the protest.

When that happened, as recorded by journalist Eustaquio de Echave-Sustaeta in El Partido Carlista y los Fueros (The Carlist Party and the Fueros), the Queen asked General Martínez Campos about the possibility of intervening, and this was the general's response: Ma'am, if it were another province, we could think about imposing general law, employing force if necessary; if it were Navarre alone, we could still go down that road, but we must understand that Navarre has the three Vascongada provinces on her side, and if force were called against that, all the Basques would have a common cause, and with them, all the Carlists in Spain, who would trigger an uprising in those provinces that would become generalized, and then that would lead again to civil war.However, since Minister Gamazo had to resign because of the uprising in Cuba and was substituted by Amós Salvador Rodrigáñez, the law never went into effect.
