FOLLOW LYING DISARMED

There is no worse thing than lying, although sometimes it is worse to tell a half-truth. It turns out that now the Councilor of the tide that today attended FITUR to talk about the San Juan Coruñés noted how the great merit of his group have made San Juan now everyone's and that everything is due to a spontaneous popular manifestation.

What a big lie. We have emphasized it thousands of times – although we suppose that this supine ignorance on the part of this individual is due to the fact of not being even of the Corunna therefore it can badly know the evolution of the things -, at the end of years 60 of the In the last century, San Juan's tradition in the city was falling, the fires that burned were less burned, and only a few corundian neighborhoods were closed, which, due to their not being properly paved, had suitable places to burn their bonfire. Night of June 23.

It was in the square of Portugal where the sanjuanero feeling was born that soon was transmitted to all Corunna. There, looking at Riazor, every Night of Burning, thousands of thousands of Corunna came from all over the city to enjoy the great night of San Juan accompanying the Meigas that were always their main attraction. It was from its beginnings a popular party in which everyone who wanted to do it participated.

However the thing is not there. It was the San Juan Hogueras Promoting Commission that sized the party, structured it, organized it; Were not the political powers but a group of Coruñeses that working without fainting achieved that each year the party was more.

It was the Promoter Commission that around the burning of the Bonfire wove a whole festive framework that made it more attractive, more popular. Hence replace the bonfire of lumber stacked with another allegorical; Hence the firing of the fire; Of there the discourse of the Cavalcade or the verbena of the night of San Juan and later, around all this, pergeñar a wide range of cultural, sporting, social and popular activities open to all the city, counting on the competition of all The social, cultural and sports fabric of La Coruña.

How can this individual dare to make such an assertion, of whom were the Bonfires before? Illustrate yourself and learn what a good fault you do.

Ignorance is a very bad adviser but still much worse is the sectarianism and revenge that these people use as a flag. We are not going to be deceived, since they arrived at Maria Pita, even before they were there, they had set themselves the goal and goal to erase us with a stroke, to make us disappear without a trace as if we had never existed. Nobody knows very well the reason although we suspect it. However, I think they crush cold iron. They will leave and we will follow.

It is shocking that now an individual like this who did nothing for the San Juan Coruñés posture as his great savior and redeemer, someone who did not even mention the international character of the party, New except try to take us out of the middle and badly imitate what before others did, that if, in a more shabby and lacking in taste as is the norm of style in these people.

Thanks to the Promotion Commission of the San Juan Bonfires it was possible to foment the party, to promote it, to make it more popular, to turn it into the great festive event of La Coruña, a trajectory that has continued the Association of Meigas until it has been declared of tourist interest International, title by which these upstarts never did anything. That is a truth that neither these nor anyone can ever recede.

Stop lying and have the gallantry enough to go out and tell us where the unrest and hate come from. Perhaps more than one is surprised.

And as an image say that it is worth a thousand words, we illustrate these comments with old photographs that speak for themselves of the "unpopular" that was the party back there in those years in which they did not even live in La Coruña. And this was just the beginning.
