Take the Plaza del Castillo!

Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.

In the Sanfermines of Pamplona, Navarra Suma wants to change the atmosphere of the Plaza del Castillo and place ten bars inside the plaza. Mayor Enrique Maya has stressed that otherwise it was becoming a bottleneck area, which wants a different environment, and Security Councilor Javier Labairu, who is not a joke, said that this will prevent citizens from taking their ears. Ten more bars and DJs during the day and night, instead of the traditional verbena and evening evening concert.

Well, that's taking more than the two to an area where there's already a lot of noise and a lot of alcohol. Many say, and not without any reason, that with the new model it will become the official bottleneck for tourist places. It dismisses, therefore, moments of "tranquillity" or a popular atmosphere in which, in essence, Pamplona is the city in which it meets frequently. Ten more bars to the plaza, in which there are already 14 accommodations and 53 more in the streets surrounding it (22 in Estafeta, 5 in Mercaderes, 3 in the Town Hall Square, 9 in Comedias and Pozo Blanco and 14 in San Nicolás).

And when the bars circulate between the Nonsense boluses, the Sanfermines Público announced that this year they are not going to install the festival centers that have installed Errekoleta and O plazetan in recent years. Navarra Suma has not left them arguing that "they brought discomfort to the neighbors". In part yes, of course, but not more than in the rest of the great festival of Pamplona, and probably much less than in many areas of the city.

I'm sure on the Labrit slope is much less than in the last 32 years. This year it will be abolished. And, by the way, it is also worth emphasizing, that is what Mayor Maya has rightly said in the predictions of the reforms of the Sanfermines this year, because the disappointment of decades does not mean that there is the right to perpetuate the festivities and the worst model of citizen coexistence, the lack of the Labrit slope.

In short, a festival aimed at all those who want to attend the utica, and always to the Plaza del Castillo de la Feria de Sevilla. In the current San Fermín model, the current holiday model in general has to analyze and change, without a doubt, but in recent years the effort has been perceived and it is to be welcomed. In the spaces of San Fermín, in the morning or in the afternoon, the children have had their spaces, the youngest have safer places to start the party, the spaces and infrastructure to eat at noon, the local music groups are the protagonists, help to decentralize the party, the Basque Country exists... In the mandate of Joseba Asirón, held by EH Bildu, Geroa Bai and Aranzadi in the last legislature, it was possible to build these forums – like eleven other issues – it has now driven the most backward right of the city out of the centre. As five centuries ago Amaiur, this year Maya will occupy the Castle Square.
