THERE WILL NEVER BE THEMSELVES

In that sad eagerness to immortalize at any price, we come across the news that the tide will not allow this year that the traditional ice cream cars open their doors on the Paseo Marítimo, an image traditionally associated with our summer that will also disappear.

There are many arbitrariness committed by these people and we believe that it is already well, that is enough and that the city has, once and for all, to wake up.

If a few days ago we observed how the National Flag and the Galicia were replaced by two multicolored rags raised on top of the masts of the Coraza, now we get on our noses with this new news, there will be no ice cream, even in another boast Of incongruity also there are castañeros in the Real street arrived the autumn. Who knows.

So far, in addition to reducing San Juan to a beach macrobotellón with less affluence than other years, have been charged the Queen of the Feast of Los Castros since they were annoyed that a handful of little girls lived their particular dream walking the streets Of its neighborhood and that last year the organizers invited to the Mayor to give read to the proclamation of its celebrations of the Carmen.

Something similar will happen with the Regional House Contest that, as happened last year, will not be held this year either, although one of the Houses ran to invite the Mayor to read the proclamation their parties, believing that such a move would serve to bring Postures.

Of course there will be no Bullfighting Fair for the mere fact of being a purely Spanish holiday, something that bothers these people and whose ban argues in an alleged protection of animals. If so, it would be logical to think that they would have to forbid, for example, fishing from the Paseo Marítimo because each piece is suffering a slow agony after coming out of the water. Something similar to that suffered by the poor fish of the Filling pond who fled tired of drinking cubatas in bottle night.

They say that the international festival of folklore, in addition to denying any support, they want to take away from the center of the city, we assume that all this is directly related to the origin of the organizers.

Once again we will suffer the rigors of rock in some atriums or squares of our city more appropriate to perform works of ancient music or chamber music than for the rocky stridences, forgetting, for example, that in the trees of the square of the Barbarians inhabit Many little birds that we do not know if they like rock. That reminds us of the ban on celebrating the Dance Nights Cycle of the HOGUERAS-2016 in the Plaza de María, despite concluding before midnight, but that could annoy some advisor living in the area.

We imagine that the Naval Battle, one of the strong numbers of our holidays in agos, will be very limited so that the seagulls and other species that inhabit Raizor and San Pedro will not be stressed.

We suppose that there will be no support, as last year, for the feasts of the Rosary, patroness of La Coruña, for the mere fact of the religious connotations that have the event. In this same line we imagine that Christmas will be much more dull than last year that were saved by being already contracted by the municipal government of the Popular Party.

Face already to 2017 again Easter will suffer from the lack of any support from the municipal government of the tide, simply because they are acts with Christian connection, no matter how little they can be an attraction for the Who visit the city at that time and for the Coruñeses that we live and pay our taxes and their salaries.

There will also be no Voting Function, at least with the rumor that was traditional, despite being a century-old tradition. In this same line, the Corpus will lack any kind of support even from the Municipal Band competition, which, if it continues, the less thought-out day disappears with musical training, as it is said that it costs money to take it to the streets.

All in all, a good part of the old traditions of the city, those that form their DNA, are being charged in a merciless and sectarian way, although the guilt as well as being theirs is also those who support or tolerate it .

In addition to all this many other questions would have to be asked. For example, is the Monte de San Pedro Battery 38.1, a first-rate tourist attraction? What happens to the old sea wall that already begins to see how the grass grows again among its stones? And the gates of St. Michael, the Cross and the Clove that are not even illuminated? And the surroundings of the Tower of Hercules where until recently it looked like a jungle than a park?

By the way, where is the half of the hand and trumpet of the Angel of the eighteenth fountain of fame in the Plaza de la Fuente de San Andrés? Abandonment and abandonment is total.
