Parties

Thanks to the weather and good humour, a crowd of people have gathered in the Old Town. The Pamplonese have gathered together with fried eggs, txistorra, tortilla, ham and, of course, drinks such as kalimotxo or sangria.

Local police officers have been forced to intervene because a large group of young people were attempting to forcibly enter the Town Hall Square by breaking the police cord and closing access. The arrested person has been charged with public disorder and an attack on police officers .

The Gurekin Services Association has launched this year's txupinazo, in the words of the City Council, "to thank the small shops and services for their contribution throughout the year." The Lesaka sanfermines will last until July 12. 

In memory of Palestine, representatives of Yala Navarra fired the rocket with the kufiyas around their necks. At 12:01, the rocket exploded in the air of Pamplona with the cry of Palestine's freedom, and with it the party exploded.

Kostata baina txupina bota du aurten Palestinaren aldeko Yala Nafarroa plataformak. 2025eko sanferminak uztailaren 14ra arte luzatuko dira, tradizioz, musikaz eta kulturaz betetako egitarau zabala eskainita. 

There are only a few hours left before the sanfermines, and in Pamplona they have everything ready to start the parties. Yala Nafarroa, the association with Palestine, will be in charge of launching the txupin this year.

The mayor of Pamplona/Iruña, Joseba Asiron, spoke on the eve of the txupinazo that will start the sanfermines about this year's "popular, accessible and inclusive parties" that they have prepared.

When the visitors arrive, a lot of citizens are working hard to get everything ready to dive into the party. Hostelers, shopkeepers, hostelers, security personnel, municipal brigades.

July 7th lock-up, live at Now, from 7:45.

It will be operational from 5 to 14 July, from 11:30 to 15:00 and from 18:00 to midnight, as a point of information, awareness and prevention of sexual assault, as well as a reference point for active listening and reporting.

A few hours before the txupinazo begins the San Fermín festivities, many Pamplonese are shopping for the latest items. Many others have taken advantage of the heat of these days to wash and dry their clothes. 

Seeing enclosures from a balcony is an opportunity that has become a business. It's fashionable and more and more demanded.

As usual, on the 1st of July thousands of people have come to Portugalete to celebrate the feast of Our Lady of Gia. They have organized a varied program of activities throughout the day: in addition to the procession, there will be descents, music, rural sports and games to cheer up the atmosphere.

On Monday in Pamplona, the association made a presentation of the kalejira that will depart from the Town Hall Square on the day of the txupinazo. The group rejects that "animal abuse is part of the party" and claims that "the majority of the population is against bullfighting".

The dancer Olatz Maruri has performed on the ark held by eight fishermen, and for the second time, a woman after her sister Ane did it two years ago. 

Today, the TCC Board of Directors and the TCC Works Council met, although they have not reached an agreement, as the committee has denounced the company's "immobilist attitude."

The first bulls of the sanfermines have already arrived in Pamplona. They belong to the Fuente Ymbro and Victorian del Río cattle ranches, protagonists of the enclosures of 7 and 10 July. For the time being, they are resting in the Gas stables. 

In addition to the numerous attacks on Tuesday morning, on Wednesday there was another attack which, according to the Txozna Commission, has not been confined solely to Hernani, which they consider to be the result of the "rise of the far right" and which "have not been isolated incidents".
