Asiron denounces that Maya is close to prevarication with the equestrian competition

  • The City Council of Pamplona has organised a horse riding competition in the Fort of Pamplona/Iruña. Last weekend some 200 horses participated in the jumps that have been made so far. Next weekend they will continue with the second session of the competition, to be held in Bilbao.

EH Bildu says that he has detected irregularities close to prevarication in the organization of the acts and that he will appeal to the courts. The former mayor of Pamplona and current councillor, Joseba Asiron, has denounced in Euskalerria Irratia that the information about the equestrian competition was to be provided in April, just a day before the event began. “The mayor, Enrique Maya, first appeared on April 29 at a press conference to discuss the issue. We have asked for information on eight occasions in four months, when the law says it should be given in a week. They clearly want to hide something.”

Asiron has stated that, among other things, they have denied that Amaia Otamendi, former UPN councillor, has participated in the organization, "but then we have seen that he asked for permission and in the press you see how everything is organized. So lies everywhere.” In the preparation work, tens of tons of sand have been thrown into the fortress, something that Asiron thought began to do "at least nine days before obtaining the municipal license. That's very close to prevarication. The regulations are very clear, permits must be given before the works begin. Any citizen of Pamplona is required to do so, you cannot start the cooking works of your house if you do not have permission.” It has therefore announced that they will file a complaint against the promoter, who is in charge of the works of the competition.

In addition, EH representative Bildu has denounced that they started "without authorization" from the municipal police and municipal gardening. The Prince of Viana Institute has also reported the development of the event through the press. The gardening permit can be important, as the tons of spilled sand can affect the prairies of the fortress and, according to Asiron, “also the fauna. What’s more, as Maya said, they intend to do the contest every year.”

Allegations of sabotage

The organizers have denounced that the cables were cut off to a small excavator on the occasion of the competition, and that it was hidden behind the attack that Mayor Maya imposed as sabotage on EH Bildu. In the Chantrea district, the Consistorio has also been involved in a controversy over the Blue Car Parking Area and thousands of neighbours have been opposed both by demonstration and by signature. Because of the signatures, the City Hall has rejected over 4,000 for a form error and has discarded itself from the municipal coffers. Last week the blue stripes also appeared on the city's roads painted back in white, and the mayor stressed that behind them was also EH Bildu.

EH Bildu has harshly denounced what Maya accused and last Friday asked him to provide evidence of what he said or to publicly reject the accusations, because if they are not going to denounce him. “He has accused us of a crime, we are accustomed, in the serious moments he always tries to divert attention in that way, but they cannot be allowed to pass. At Friday’s plenary I will again ask you to submit the tests or to retract.”
