He Mayor of San Sebastián, Eneko Goia, has regretted the “inevitable” suspension of the Behobia-San Sebastián 2020 due to the coronavirus and has hoped that “things will change and can be held next year.”
Goia, in the press conference after the Local Government Board, has considered that this is “bad news”, but given the circumstances caused by the pandemic, the Fortuna sports club, organizer of the Behobia “I had no choice”.
The Donostiarra councilor has stated that it is an “inevitable” decision. “I think we all wanted to hope that things would evolve in a different way so that it would be possible in the month of November, but things are going as they are at this time,” he assured.
Along these lines, he recalled that the Behobia-San Sebastián is a sports event that “has among its characteristics the agglomeration in its purest form, with 30,000 participants.” “It was already sensed that if the situation continued, this would be complicated,” he added.
To your understanding, the decision adopted by CD Fortuna «was the only one that could in these circumstances, unfortunately «. The mayor has considered that the fact that an event of these characteristics is not held, »which has the trajectory and the echo it has and is capable of attracting so many participants«, is not good for the city. “But circumstances dictate that to us and what we will hope for is that things change and next year we will be able to enjoy another edition of the Behobia-San Sebastián, with more enthusiasm if possible”, he concluded.
