At the insistence of the PP, the Mayor changes his approach and backs out in his initial decision, which allows the totaneros to make fire in the romerķa as every year with the support as always of the Ministry of Environment.
The Popular Party congratulates the Ministry of Water, Environment and Agriculture for continuing to support the normal development of the Pilgrimage of the Holy and make available to the totaneros all means necessary to make fire.
After insisting and demanding from the PP on repeated occasions that an urgent Citizen Security Board be convened to address and change the decision of the Mayor and his Government Team not to make fire in the Romerķas de Santa Eulalia, yesterday morning Celebrated the Citizen Security Board, assisting all the parties involved to expose in the same the necessary measures in order to solve the prohibition of making fire in the pilgrimages of our Patron.
The PP has shown that it was a decision of the Government Team and not of the Ministry as the Mayor said, who "did not move a finger," leaving his arms down and supporting the decision of his Councilman to ban the fires, until The PP asked for a change of decision, working on the relevant actions in order to maintain the traditional fires.
The Mayor, Iu-Ganar Totana and his government partners of the PSOE can no longer excuse themselves and hide behind the notification of the Ministry of Environment, which has been receiving for several years and have set the guidelines for action to be able to carry out The development of pilgrimages, and must assume their incompetence to defend the traditions around the Patron of Totana.
The Popular Party understands that the traditions of Totana do not have political color so they must have the defense and the unanimous support of the whole Municipal Corporation.
The PP of Totana requested that the meeting be called after knowing the decision of not being able to fire the days of romerķa through the means of communication, decision that was taken by the Mayor and his Government Team in the Citizen Security Board summoned To organize and coordinate actions for the proper development of the pilgrimages of December 8 and January 7.
Since long ago, it has been a habitual image in our pilgrimages of descent and rise of our Patron, the fires with the frying pans or the rice paellas ... in addition to seeing groups of families and friends warming themselves around the fire, and from the PP we will continue working so that it continues being.
From Grupo Popular we want to continue to highlight the commitment and responsibility of all totaneros and visitors with the protection of our mountain range throughout the year and especially during these days.
