The height of evil

We can not believe what we have heard from one of the councilors of the tide.

As said this character "does not know anyone to attend the events organized by the HOGUERAS ." Obviously this can be possible in the sense that it is a Vigo, not a Coruña, and that implies that its relation with the city is scarce or nonexistent.

This comment, in addition to the evil that it contains in itself, reveals once again that for these of the tide there are Coruñeses of two classes, namely the first class, their friends, co-religionists and sympathizers, whether or not Of La Coruña, have done something or nothing for the city, and secondly, the rest of the citizens, who fortunately do not think like them, that we do not care, nor care about them and do not even have us in the slightest regard.

This person, totally ignorant of our city and of its people, is not unaware, as it knows, that thousands and thousands have been the Coruñeses who have attended every year the acts of the HOGUERAS , events organized by the First Promoter Commission And by the Association of Meigas later. He knows, only that intrinsic malice that moves him, that brazenness with which he manifests, blinds him by pointing out who he is and what he intends.

We do not know if the people of your circle of acquaintances have participated or not in the acts of HOGUERAS , nor is it that we care a lot, the truth is that the different activities of our programs has come who has given it, Corunna and non-Coruna Of all social segments, of all ages, of all conditions, of all classes, and of all ideologies.

As for the night of San Juan, this character does not ignore – even when he was sure that he enjoyed this night on the beautiful beach of Panjón – that it was thanks to the Promoter Commission who is due that today the party of the HOGUERAS is as it is And that he has come to where he did it. It was the work of many Coruñeses, including some Vigo but not he, of course, which made it possible for the night of San Juan to become the great event in La Coruña.

Neither he nor anyone in his group has ever done anything for this city and much less for his HOGUERAS although they now pretend to argue the fallacy that "finally the San Juan is popular", when now happens just the opposite in that eagerness they have , Wherever they are present, to "protect" the activities so that they are made to their political liking. These, with that cynical phrase of "negative valuation", have been carrying acts, celebrations and denominations, traditional in the city, demanding, under threat of non-economic contribution, their suppression, only pretend to ruin La Coruña, turn it into a City of fourth order.

We have said, we only have to watch the news to realize that, except in the meteorological report, La Coruña has ceased to exist. Nobody talks about it and has stopped being news for its parties, its congresses, its great spectacles, its sport appointments of first level. etc.

In these two years that have taken in the City hall they have loaded, by the face, the taurine fair; The Regional Houses competition; The Role of the Vow; The season of Opera; The Children's Queen of Los Castros; Have forbidden that the Queen of the Festivities of the Old City bears this denomination having had to change it by the one of "godmother"; Have not collaborated with a single euro for the celebration of Holy Week; The Northwest Pop Rock is a caricature of those who went; A free first-rate musical show has not come again; A Zarzuela has not been re-staged; He has not performed a ballet of renown again; No sporting events have been held to raise national awareness; No single campaign to attract tourism has been launched; etc.

But there is more, street lighting is lamentable; Unpaved streets; Not one single work of importance has been initiated; The Old City is abandoned with cobblestones and raised slabs, painted walls; The neglected gardens; The old forgotten sea walls; Dirty streets; The neighborhoods left by the hand of God; etc. What have they done in these two years besides turning the facade of Maria Pita in a bulletin board of its announcements?

And now they are intended to load the HOGUERAS . To this day, despite being a festival of international tourist interest, it has no other poster than the one published by the Association of Meigas presented at FITUR, they did not submit anything; No municipal programming; The budget assigned is minimal, they have said that less than last year and above have banned, again, the reason is not well known although we suspect it, the Cavalcade of San Juan; The Fire Commission of San Juan; Have minimized the session of fires of that night so that the birds do not stress; We assume that the verbena, if they do it, will be very much like walking around the house. That is to say, the night of San Juan has been restricted only to a day of fun on the beaches where there is little room for anyone who does not want to go down to the sands and it is stated that they speculated with the possibility of prohibiting the burning of bonfires both in Riazor As in Orzán and even to make disappear the allegorical bonfire born by the Promoting Commission in the years 80.

Damn day of that two years ago when they entered the City Hall. La Coruña is going to pay him well, and when they leave, they will leave because they are already depreciated, the black shadow of his step will remain, which will probably take time to shake us. A pity.

Many bona fide Coruñeses believed that they were coming to improve the city, today they are disillusioned.

We finish. Each one can think as he wishes, he would lack more, nevertheless the bad thing is something that leaves well seated the moral appeal of the one who exercises it.
