Beti Jai Alai has participated with Gerediaga Elkartea on this year's Merindad Day to remember the witchcraft punishments of 400 years ago and publicly apologize.

The church recognized the report prepared by Inquisitor Alonso Salazar and Frias after the Zugarramurdi trials, in which he claimed that witchcraft was the result of the myths and fears of an uneducated society. However, the authorities of the Merindad de Durango did not follow this trend and continued to punish those people who were outside of social, political or religious uniformity. September 3, 1617, highlights the decision of the faithful gathered in the Geraliaga campaign asking for measures against acts of witchcraft. Later, in 1618, the last women held by witchcraft were released from the Astola prison.
