They have called to mobilize on August 14 against bullfights and the "passivity of the municipal government", from Boulebard of Donostia to Sarriegi Square. According to the organizers, Eneko Goia does not respect "the majority will of the Donostiarras", as Eneko Goia does not share.

According to the 2017 Citizen Perception Survey, 71% of Donostiarras see the use of public resources for bullfights as inappropriate. In fact, the bullring in San Sebastian, in Illumbe, is a public space and they have denounced that the City Hall is "complicit" with the bullfighting.

“It is absolutely wrong that bullfighting should be the result of a mere private initiative. Moreover, without the City Hall’s express support for this initiative, bullfighting in Donostia would be passed,” said Askekintza spokeswoman Itziar Alonso at a hearing in the Alderdi Eder Park.

It has come to pass that the new legislature will begin the same and that the Mayor, Eneko Goia, has "eaten" the word of the Jeltzales. All individuals, associations, agents and cofradías opposed to animals dying for the show and not respecting the word of citizenship have called a demonstration for 14 August at 18:00.
