Last Friday, September 6, the The characteristic green fences of the Beloso slope have disappeared and in their place others were added that were not at all similar and even less identified with Pamplona. The previous enclosures contained the lion of the city in the center.
This action, led by Asirón, has caused great controversy among citizens. Now, the Mayor of Pamplona He said on Monday that “a few weeks ago we gave the order” to municipal technicians “to try to find a solution” for the Beloso slope fences -removed during the works on the corridor- which “complies with the regulations, but also preserves this heritage that I believe the people of Pamplona consider theirs.”
In response to the media after an institutional event, Asiron stressed that “we must go step by step”. “We meet some traditional fences in Pamplona but which do not comply with state regulations, with the technical code. Therefore, yes or yes, we had to replace them or intervene when carrying out work,” he explained.
He added that “what the previous government team had proposed, and it was in the initial project, was to eliminate them and install modern ones,” but “the current municipal team is aware of the importance of urban heritagein this case, minor assets and furniture, and so we thought there was a loss of assets.”
“And that is why, a few weeks ago, we gave the assignment to technicians and techniques so that they try to find a solution that preserves the regulations, of course yes, that complies with the regulations, but also that preserves this heritage that I believe the people of Pamplona feel as theirs,” he stressed.
