Overview
- Organizers acknowledged selling more festival raffle shares than tickets actually purchased, triggering a multimillion‑euro deficit and a rift among neighbors and outside buyers.
- A provisional agreement from the affected assembly would pause payments until March, with distribution only if no complaints are filed by winners.
- One proposal described by El Comercio trims about €5,000–€6,000 from each winning share to help cover the shortfall estimated at roughly three million euros.
- A separate account in El Norte de Castilla reports a plan to cut payouts by around 10% with money deposited in court and released after March 22 if no legal actions are lodged.
- People linked to the commission who already cashed full décimos agreed to shoulder part of the loss, while some winners are pressing for transparency on who reserved, paid for and collected the tickets.
