Feijóo attends first San Fermín, links visit to corruption scandal

Feijóo made his first visit to the San Fermín festival in Pamplona, where he participated in the second encierro and the traditional Baile de la Alpargata. The visit carried explicit political overtones, with Feijóo describing Pamplona as the "place of the events" of a corruption scandal involving former PSOE officials Source: elespanol.

Political overtones

Beyond the festivities, Feijóo made a point of visiting the scene of the so-called "trama" — a corruption network tied to former Socialist figures. "This is the ground zero of that earthquake," he said, adding that Navarrese deserved better Source: elespanol. The visit is seen as an attempt to capture centrist voters, following a meeting with Basque business leaders Source: infobae.
