Riot units of the National Police, a helicopter, a double security cordon with local agents and drones in the sky have been in charge this Friday of security in the last meters of the procession of San Fermín (Pamplona), where unlike years Previous incidents have not been recorded.
Late on schedule and the streets crowded with people despite the fact that the thermometers exceeded 30 degrees, the Corporation has paraded down Calle Curia towards the Cathedral amid whistles, boos and applause, a sign of the disparity of opinions in the city who have wanted to make live some cheers to San Fermín.
Preceding the parade, the Comparsa de Gigantes y Cabezudos has walked the street in advance to the applause of the public as they pass. Minutes later, the Municipal Corporation accompanied by dantzaris, bagpipers and txistularis, parish crosses, the Cathedral Chapter and the Municipal Police in full dress have arrived at Curia street, a problematic point in other years. It has been at the crosses when the first whistles of protest from a part of the congregated have been loudly heard, which have intensified at the passage of the Cabildo.
With the Corporation, the decibels of the booing have risen together with the shouts of “UPN kampora”, which have intensified as the mayoress, Cristina Ibarrola, passed by, protected by three municipal police officers dressed as Pamplonicans and surrounded by a cordon of uniformed men, while a second row of local agents tried to get the public located on both sides of the street to step back to increase the safety distance with the councilor.
In the same way, the parade has passed through the entire Curia street to the Cathedral. It was when the Corporation returned to the Town Hall that a more relaxed atmosphere was seen, which at some point caused the police cordon to open slightly and the graphics were able to photograph the mayoress.
Already on June 28 and in the face of incidents that occurred every year, the Board of Spokespersons of the Pamplona City Council approved an institutional declaration in which all the groups invited the citizenry as a whole to “the acts of the festivities, and in particularly the celebration of the San Fermín procession, take place without any type of insult, incident, violence or conflict”.
In the statement, the City Council also appealed for a “healthy coexistence”, “enjoy in freedom” and “mutual respect” Sanfermines, values ??with which it assumed a “commitment” as a corporation.
