Another tradition that disappears

Yesterday we learned that this July, during the fiestas that the area of ​​Los Castros organizes in honor of Nuestra Señora del Carmen, there will be no Children's Queen of the Holidays as I had been habitual since many years ago.

The justification for this suppression is based on the treatment that the Queen and her Ladies received last year from the municipal government of the tide, who, through some of their councilors, disqualified them in a painful way. We also assume that those who say that they govern the city will have been in charge of sending to the organizing committee of the party that if this year was again the Queen of the Party there would be no subsidy. Something very typical in the way of governing of these people who, in the most stale Bolivarian style, prohibit, without modesty, all that they do not like or house with their ideas.

Curiously, who commented on the suppression of this endearing figure already traditional in Los Castros, he was quick to point out that, despite everything, "an event will be organized to invite the Meigas even though you do not need to be dressed in the Regional Costume." It is to be supposed that this is a new veto of the municipal government since last year the Mayor of the tide was in charge of reading the proclamation of the festivities of the Carmen and had to give up of noses with the Meigas that attended the act, wearing With much pride of the Regional Costume of Galicia.

We do not know the true implantation of the figure of the Queen of the Parties of the Castros in its neighborhood, not even if it was something mainly followed by the majority of the neighbors, what if we know that it was a personage already traditional and associated to Those festivities that are now going to disappear because of the pressure or the totalitarian demands of those who want to change everything and standardize the city to its little uplifting style.

We keep thinking the same thing: it's better to die standing than to live on our knees.
