The mayor of Valencia, María José Catalá, has asked for "respect" for Valencia, its culture and the fireworks industry in the face of the "indiscriminate attacks" of the "Madrid left" who have shown, in her opinion, "hatred against Valencian traditions ". All of this, she added, with the silence of the Valencian left, which remains silent.
After criticism from some sectors of the firing of the mascletà scheduled for this Sunday at Puente del Rey in Madrid Río, the mayor wanted to launch a message of support for the initiative on social networks.
A slogan that has been reinforced by the delegate councilor of Fallas, Santiago Ballester, who has highlighted, through a statement, that the objective of this mascletà in Madrid, “in addition to the promotion of our most universal festival, the Fallas, “It is the dissemination of the activity of the pyrotechnic sector of the Valencian Community.” Ballester has indicated that there are 28 companies that generate more than 1,000 direct and indirect jobs.
Along these lines, the councilor of the Valencia City Council explained that the mascletà “will give great visibility both nationally and internationally to pyrotechnic art, of which we Valencians are very proud that it is part of the identity of the Valencian people as a form.” expression of our traditions and culture.”
The spokesperson for the socialist municipal group in the Madrid City Council has responded to Catalá's criticism on social networks, who has assured that her party respects Valencian traditions but with an important nuance: "This Sunday's mascletà is the party that your friend Almeida "he promised you if you were mayor." For this reason, Maroto wondered why "a gift from the mayor" had to be paid with the money of all Madrid residents.
Immediately afterwards, the spokesperson for the PSPV in the Valencia City Council, Sandra Gómez, reaffirmed the words of her party colleague: "That the PSOE of Madrid says that you, Genoa or the Alibaba cave will pay for the electoral party. against any tradition, it only goes against your hard face".
Days before, the deputy spokesperson for Más Madrid in the capital's town hall, Eduardo Rubiño, denounced that 4 days before the celebration of the mascletà there were "no reports, no permits, no contracts, no environmental impact."
In fact, a Contentious-Administrative judge number 8 of Madrid has until tomorrow at eleven to decide whether to provisionally suspend the 'mascletà' organized for the first time by the Madrid City Council for next Sunday at the Puente del Rey, in Madrid Río and next to the Casa de Campo.
As reported by Europa Press, the animal shelter Salvando Peludos yesterday filed an appeal before the Contentious-Administrative Court of Madrid requesting very precautionary measures to stop the pyrotechnic event due to the damage to this natural space that represents "an environment of renaturalization since 2016 and that will cause a massacre among the fauna.
