SUSPENDED THE JOURNEY OF TRIBUTE TO THE CORUÑESA WOMAN
The impediments and difficulties posed by the municipality of the tide to be able to carry out the traditional act of homage to Maria Pita, as well as the silence to the request to celebrate the remaining acts of the day of homage to the Corunna Woman, has caused that it is adopted The resolution to cancel all the activities planned for this day.
The tribute to the women of Coruña, which has been celebrated for several years and is probably the only one that is celebrated in Spain, included the distribution of flowers to the women of our city, both in markets, commercial establishments, residences of The elderly, as in their offices to those in positions of responsibility; A floral tribute was also paid to Emilia Pardo Bázan, Concepcion Arenal, Teresa Herrera and Juana de Vega, in the gardens of Méndez Núñez, concluding the day with a tribute to María Pita, before the monument that owns the square that bears his name , To where the Meigas attended forming their showy entourage.
The failure to receive a reply to the request for the corresponding permits and the refusal to be able to fence the area of the Plaza de María Pita where the tribute was to take place, caused the Board to take this decision.
Why is it allowed to go to Plaza de María Pita or any other place for the celebration of popular, social or sporting events and yet this possibility is denied to the Association of Meigas? Another clear discrimination. How can you perform a formal act of homage with people going through the medium of the choirs, the Band of Music or the ballet that act in the homage? We will see to see what they do of the tide when it is an act organized by them.
We reproduce a photograph that this year, thanks to those of the tide will not be seen in the streets.
It is seen that women can not be honored either.
