- On Wednesday the Basque Government’s order came to ban baserritarras fairs. More than 200 agents have adhered to the request of EHKolektiboa: Open fairs. Meanwhile, on Saturday 11 fairs have been held in Oñati and Ondarroa with the authorization of the local councils.
The Tuesday and Saturday Zaldupe market in Ondarroa has been open for the first hour of the morning. In the first hour the mayor, the deputy mayor and the municipal architect have been empowered to confirm that all the measures established by the protocol are complied with and the fair has been opened normally.
"It is up to the City Hall to authorize these fairs and the City Hall understands that they are a priority service. In addition, sellers and consumers have the right to decide which food model they want to produce and consume, and to do so, all possible means must be put in place", they said.
The weekly market has also been held in Oñati. "Last week, April 11, it was announced that the fair was to be held on Holy Saturday, and this will be done tomorrow, on the blue court of Zubiko. The 14 salespeople of last week will come." This was announced by the City of Oñati, giving way to action from the protest to the measure of the Basque Government.
"The City Hall continues to support the first sector of the locality and keep the date of the fair on Saturdays with the policy of promoting local and seasonal products. Adapting to the hygiene and safety measures required by the state of alarm we are living, he moved to the Zubiko sports club and limited the number of vendors and customers they are buying at the same time," they said.
