WHEN SECTARIANS HURT ANY CITY

Whatever they say, quantify as they quantify, yesterday's San Juan night was by far the worst of the past few years. If to the alarm created by the possible rise of the tide, we add a shabby and lamentable session of firecrackers, rather than of fireworks, and a verbena of San Juan without any incentive of any type, the result can not be worse. But the thing do not ends there. The night of San Juan was conceived like total party, a celebration for all the coruñeses independently that they go or not to the beaches; It is not a party whose only objective is to promote the presence of groups of friends around a bonfire in the sand – certainly, yesterday less than ever and we have photographs that attest to it -, it is a matter of being experienced by people of All ages, those entire families who only stay on the Paseo Maritimo because they consider it making use of their individual freedom.

For those, for the thousands of Coruñeses who stayed in the Paseo were created the parades of the afternoon that animated the atmosphere; The Fire Company of San Juan with more than one hundred bikes parading along the Paseo Marítimo; The Ride of the Meigas with Music Bands, Charangas, Bands of Bagpipes, Bands of Bugles and Drums; A great fireworks show – for one night the birds of the mountain of San Pedro would not be disturbed – and a Verbena of trunk, able to attract own and strangers.

For the second year there was nothing of all that and the comment heard to more than one, "I to see how others eat sardines do not move from home," became a reality and fewer and fewer are approaching what Before it was a seafront crowded with people.

They have been going for two consecutive years in which they want to load the San Juan, a party that took a lot of effort and a lot of work to elevate to the category of international and that now languishes again by the incompetence and the sectarianism of a few.

There is more to watch TV. That image of our night of San Juan opening the newscasts of most of the Chains today is already only a memory. Nobody talks about La Coruna even for its night of San Juan despite being, next to the one of Alicante, the unique one that enjoys the privilege of being Festival of International Tourist Interest.

In summary that in pretending to sectarianism to harm a few, is damaging to the whole city. What a pity!
