Chupinazo 2014

This year the security measures will be strengthen regarding the “Chupinazo” Opening Ceremony. Last year the rocket launch that heralds the festival of San Fermin (12h) was delayed 20 minutes, until a "giant" flag ((Ikurriña) placed by a group of people moments before 12 was withdrawn.




The mayor of Pamplona waited until the police removed the flag. A few months later the youngsters -who had with their faces covered at the time, were identified thanks to footprint found on the giant flag (5.50 x 6 meters. In March, the judge found that there was evidence of a crime for independence political reasons.

The Ikurriña is the Basque County´s flag and Pamplona is the capital of Navarra´s County.
