The president of the Government of Navarra, Maria Chivite, has stated that she is “very sorry not to give good news” regarding the possible celebration of the Sanfermines in 2021 and has stated that “an international festival such as the Sanfermines, in which they come to Navarra million people, it will not be possible”, due to the Covid-19 Pandemic.

Chivite has stated that, “beyond the fact that we can meet the vaccination expectation of around 40 or 60% of Navarrese at the beginning of the summer, it is not responsible to open expectations that it will not be possible to fulfill”.

In a conference at the New Economy Forum, Chivite pointed out that “it is true that all of us Navarrese feel the Sanfermines as something intrinsic to our identity, but it is not responsible to encourage hopes that I sincerely believe that they will not be able to be, beyond the fact that many things may happen between now and July, it will be difficult to celebrate Sanfermines”.
