Enrique Maya will not modify the protocol against sexist aggressions
  • Last week the Platform of Women against Sexist Violence of Pamplona and the Feminist Group of the Federation of Peñas of Pamplona denounced that Navarra Suma modified the protocol against sexist aggressions and unilaterally decided the campaign against the aggressions of San Fermin. Maya, upon the requests of the Women's Council to the government team, will leave the protocol as it was. It's about to see what's going to happen with the San Fermin campaign.

The Women's Platform against Sexist Violence of Pamplona and the Feminist Group of the Federation of Peñas of Pamplona reported last Wednesday that they had left the advisory group on violence against women that they shared with the City Council of Pamplona. Reason: modification of the protocol against sexual assaults by the municipal government and approval "without consensus" of the feminist movement of the San Fermin campaign.

The event caused pride and on Monday the Women’s Council demanded the government team to maintain the protocol and campaign against sexist aggressions in San Fermin as a whole. Finally, the mayor, Enrique Maya, has withdrawn and will maintain the protocol against the aggressions, as reported by EH councilor Bildu of Pamplona, Eva Aranguren, on Thursday. The coalition has made a press conference to take the floor on the management of the festivities that Navarra Suma is holding.

According to Aranguren's explanations, an extraordinary meeting of the Women's Council was held on Monday at the request of the Women's Platform against Sexist Violence in Pamplona. At the meeting, four points were agreed, one of which was to maintain the protocol as it was, without applying the modifications that the municipal government wanted to introduce. In the face of this demand, Maya has left the protocol as agreed in 2016, "because he has been forced to withdraw from his proposed modification", in the words of Aranguren.

Once the question of the protocol is closed, it is now time to see what will happen with the campaign against sexist aggressions in San Fermin. Navarra Suma also underwent changes, as the feminists denounced. However, Aranguren informs that the councillor of Navarra Suma, María García Barberena, has made the statements that have opened her up to the possible modification, noting that the material has not yet been sent and that they are in time to do so. The decisions on the campaign remain unclosed, so one of the options is that Navarra Suma recovers, or not.
