Asiron: "The right and the far right meet at San Saturnino to insult and try to attack."
"I am convinced that if it is not for the intervention of the Municipal Police the day before, they will attack us, but I have no intention of taking any further action, in addition to now publicly denouncing them," the mayor of Pamplona has denounced.
Insults against the mayor of Pamplona, Joseba Asiron, next to the church of San Saturnino.
The mayor of Pamplona, Joseba Asiron, has stated that in the procession of San Fermín Day, opposite the church of San Saturnino, "groups of the right and the far right come together to insult and try to attack."
On the occasion of the award ceremony of the XXIII International Fireworks Competition, Asiron has taken advantage of the media to address various issues that are taking place during the sanfermines.
Asiron has been critical and talked about a "paradox" in the procession. The mayor received insults and attempted assault, and the City Police are investigating everything.

The ascent and descent of Curia Street have been the quietest I've known in my 10 years at City Hall.
"On the one hand, the rise and descent of Curia Street has been the quietest I have known in the 10 years I have been in the City Hall, although there is room for improvement, and on the other hand, the tension has shifted to San Saturnino," he said.
"I am convinced that, except for the intervention of the Municipal Police the day before, they would have attacked us, but I have no intention of taking any further action, beyond now publicly denouncing them," the mayor said.
Asiron has rejected all kinds of insults, regardless of who they are addressed to, and has assured the authorities that he does not like them even if they are him or any other member of the Corporation.

On the other hand, they ask the mayor about the strike in Villaves, and he replies that the competences are first in the hands of the Commonwealth and secondly in the hands of the company and the workers' representatives, so "little more can be done from the City Council", but he says that they have taken an interest in the case.
"We note with concern that no agreement has been reached and, both publicly and privately, I encourage you to make an effort not to affect citizens," he stressed.
A lot of runners in lock-ups.
He has also expressed surprise at the decline in the number of runners in the lock-up on the 7th, while on the 8th and 9th he has described them as "very massive."
However, the mayor has no intention of taking any action to limit the number of runners.
"I believe that sanfermines must be popular and spontaneous, they were created by the people of Pamplona, and prohibitions and quotas, as well as payment for entry, go against the holidays," Asiron said.
