Pamplona say that is to say San Fermín and its parties with which it is easy to get excited from the chupinazo and release some tears in the “poor of me”, which only solivates with the hope of returning the following year. The Sanfermines are not any party that is why there are many who arrived, fell in love and remained forever. The American writer Ernest Hemingway and the millions of followers return each year from the world. This is so. Navarros open their doors as they only do these days of the year and Pamplona is a unique full personality and sense universe in everything that happens 24 hours a daybecause within the Sanfermines there are many parties, for adults and children. It is surprising that, from the Pamplona City Council, whose mayor is Joseba Asiron, that is to say eH Bildu, The initiative to do a wide survey has been published to learn about some areas about their claimed parties. Some very understandable aspects, such as knowing the scope of its economic impact, but within that package it is used to question sibyline and on a sample of 1,300 people who are unknown who will be the chosen and under what parameters, about rejection or not to bullfights and enclosures. That is, try to destabilize from home the devotion for which Pamplona is known throughout the planet? The thing is not there, the religious sense will also be questioned, to the Holy, San Fermín, to whom he is sung, own and strangers every morning asking for his protection and that bears the name of the holidays. It is something as curious as wanting to loot your own home, hurting your own body, doubting at the Fallas Fair, the Ninots and the Crema, the voluntary loss of the identity that makes us unique and the reason why he travels to Pamplona every July 7 so many people.
How will it be done
In the official publication, reference is made to the survey “must have a minimum sampling of 1,300 inhabitants of Pamplona over 15 years, who will be interviewed between June 1 and July 5, in face -to -face or ‘face to face’ mode in their homes ». What we are not clear about are the parameters of that sampling, who will be those 1,300 chosen, what will be the questions, nor how they will be asked about “the acceptance or rejection of enclosures and bullfights or devotion to the saint.” The same saint to which thousands of people cry out every morning minutes before eight and who is also known worldwide, but who, in the house itself, in the land themselves want to question. The things in this country. «As is usually the case and I do not mean Tezanos cis, it is easy for them to be remote controlbut we don’t know that we will try not to prejudge. We have already had a controversy coinciding with the publication of this survey when suddenly the company that develops the activity around the San Fermín festivities did not let them label bull publications or confinements. The mayor himself had to say that it was not so … », he tells La Razón Juan José Echeverría, councilor of the Pamplona City Council for UPN.
And so the councilor values this news: «It’s a small watchmaking pump on a global survey. The first part of that survey was done by us. Knowing the economic impact, how people take it is interesting, but without the need to question religion, which is San Fermín, or the bulls themselves, which are the engine of our party. When these questions are asked it is because there is another intentionality. It is as if in Valencia they questioned to burn the ninots or do them. What would be of the failures then? ”Echeverría says.
Second largest place in Spain
To focus a little, Pamplona’s bullring is the second largest in Spain after sales with a capacity of 19,720 spectators. His fair has an unusual subscriber and is filled every day without exception, and not only that, the resale works because there is demand. It doesn’t matter the poster. The bulls leave in San Fermín. In addition to that, the Sanfermines revolve around the bull. From morning to night. The known morning enclosures to which runners from all over the world come, in their literalness. Later heifers, jumping competitions, cuts or rings. The visit to the Gas Corrales, where the bulls of the different livestocks that will be dealt with later, the children’s enclosures, the magical confinement of the night and of course the bullfights that They touch the epic every afternoon given the enormous size of the horned and the challenge that supposes that they run in the morning. But there is one more thing, Pamplona’s bullring is owned by the House of Mercy, which is the manager of a great nursing home. That is, it is not a private company that exploits it, but has a social function of high importance. For all Pamplona is unique, despite Bildu.
