The txosnas have returned to the centre of Estella and claimed their traditional space, frustrating the descent of the Puy
The Txosnas have declared a traditional festive area, in the face of a municipal ban: "The holidays belong to the people." It should be remembered that for the second year in a row the City Council has banned the installation of a festive area of txosnas in the city centre, moving to the outskirts.
For the second year in arow, thedescent of the Puy de Estella has been cancelled. The reason has not been a technical problem or a logistical surprise, but a popular claim that hundreds of Estellese have once again occupied the street of "Bajadika", the traditional space of the txosnas.
On the eve of the txupinazo, and without prior notice, a txosna and a concert stage were set up at the site where this popular recreation complex has been held for 29 years, with the aim of proclaiming that "the holidays belong to the people" and denouncing that political decisions cannot be above the popular initiative.
As a result of the protest, Mayor Marta Ruiz de Alda (UPN) has decided to suspend the descent of the Puy "for security reasons", as she did last year. However, she has stated that she is living in a "calm" situation, adding that she will not "endanger anyone or anything".
It should be remembered that for the second year in a row the Estella City Council has banned the assembly of the Txosnas Festival Complex in the city centre, moving to the outskirts of the town, right next to the parking lot of the old station, so the measure has revived the conflict because many people believe that txosnas are an essential part of the participatory and popular holidays.
