Los Sanfermines 2020 no se celebrarán en julio. El Ayuntamiento de Pamplona ha decidido suspender las fiestas debido a la crisis del coronavirus. El consistorio reconoce que tomar esta decisión ha sido duro, pero "la realidad impera" y el coronavirus "está reñido con los Sanfermines". La lucha contra el Covid-19 se ha convertido en una prioridad mundial y no existe otra opción para unas fiestas "tan multitudinarias e internacionales como los Sanfermines", ha señalado en rueda de prensa la alcaldesa en funciones, Ana Elizalde.
Este 2020 el coronavirus Covid-19 ha provocado la primera suspensión de los Sanfermines por una epidemia en los dos últimos siglos, ya que las fiestas se habían celebrado incluso durante los brotes de cólera del siglo XIX y la llamada gripe "española" de 1918. La última vez que los Sanfermines se suspendieron temporalmente fue en 1997 durante 24 horas por el asesinato a manos de ETA de Miguel Ángel Blanco. Para encontrar unos Sanfermines suspendidos de forma completa hay que irse a 1938, con la Guerra Civil.
Aun así, Elizalde no descarta completamente la celebración de las fiestas, "ojalá puedan celebrarse en septiembre" ha reconocido. Pero el Ayuntamiento ha decidido ya destinar "gran parte del presupuesto de las fiestas" que supera los tres millones de euros, a "intentar paliar las consecuencias de la crisis sanitaria".
Además, pensando en los agentes más afectados por la no celebración de los Sanfermines, como hostelería y comercio, buscarán fórmulas para "tratar de compensar de alguna manera" las cuantiosas pérdidas económicas y sentimentales que va a suponer la suspensión de las fiestas.
El siete de julio seguirá siendo San Fermín y aunque no ha querido adelantar qué tipo de celebración podría darse, sí reconoce que es un día “muy especial” para la ciudad y “así se hará ver”.

The Sanfermines 2020 will not take place in July. The Pamplona City Council has decided to suspend the festivities due to the coronavirus crisis. The consistory recognizes that making this decision has been hard, but "reality prevails" and the coronavirus "is at odds with the Sanfermines." The fight against Covid-19 has become a world priority and there is no other option for parties "as massive and international as the Sanfermines", the acting mayor, Ana Elizalde, said at a press conference.
This 2020 the Covid-19 coronavirus has caused the first suspension of the Sanfermines due to an epidemic in the last two centuries, since the festivities had been celebrated even during the 19th century cholera outbreaks and the so-called "Spanish" flu of 1918. The last time the Sanfermines were temporarily suspended was in 1997 for 24 hours for the murder by ETA of Miguel Ángel Blanco. To find Sanfermines completely suspended you have to go to 1938, with the Civil War.
Even so, Elizalde does not completely rule out the celebration of the holidays, "I hope they can be held in September," he acknowledged. But the City Council has already decided to allocate "a large part of the holiday budget" that exceeds three million euros, to "try to alleviate the consequences of the health crisis."
In addition, thinking of the agents most affected by the non-celebration of the Sanfermines, such as hospitality and commerce, they will look for formulas to "try to compensate in some way" for the considerable economic and sentimental losses that the suspension of the festivals will entail.
July 7 will continue to be San Fermín and although he has not wanted to anticipate what type of celebration could take place, he does acknowledge that it is a "very special" day for the city and "it will be seen as such".
