Almost thirty troops to avoid the bonfires on Dénia beaches during the Nit de Sant Joan

21 June 2023 - 11: 37

In compliance with the Municipal Ordinance of management and security in the use, enjoyment and exploitation of the beaches of Dénia, which establishes in article 57 the prohibition of making fire on the beach, and to guarantee safety and compliance with the rules during the Midsummer, a special security device has been established in which the Local Police, the National Police and Civil Protection will act in a coordinated manner, with a total of 26 troops.

The main accesses to the beach areas will be controlled to inform people of the regulations and prevent them from accessing with wood, firewood or other objects that are used to make a fire.

Likewise, the Local Police Drone Unit will carry out surveillance flights to detect possible infringements of the regulations that prohibit making fire on the beaches. The practice of drinking bottles and other uncivil actions will also be controlled.

The department of Beaches has coordinated with the cleaning concessionaire the provision of a support truck that, during the evening of Friday, June 23, will tour the busiest beaches to collect any waste that may be generated. Two workers will be assigned to this support service on board the truck and the person in charge of the company, who will accompany them with another vehicle coordinating the actions. In addition, the extra service on the Night of San Juan will assign 7 operators, a front shovel, a mixed shovel and two trucks to clean the beaches.

From midnight until 8 am on Saturday the 24th, the usual daily beach cleaning service will be provided during the high season. On Saturdays, as is the case, 2 tractors, 2 heavy quadricycles and a team of 11 operators are assigned to this service.

Also, according to the councilor for Beaches, Pepe Doménech, during the days of Thursday 22 and Friday 23 June, the warning messages of the prohibition of making fires on the beaches will be intensified through the informational public address service installed in the busiest points of 8 beaches in the city.

    I who had the misfortune of living through Francoism, yesterday reminded me of the one prior to the demonstrations of those times. The police unleashed and controlling everything. Truly embarrassing the performance of this City Council. Prohibiting for the sake of prohibiting is his maxim.

  2. Luis says:

    You complain about the prohibition but you don't say anything about the incivility and filth that people spend in this celebration. If everyone collected their garbage to respect the use of the beaches the next day there would be no problem.

    • paldo says:

      Excuse me, but you are already mixing, diverting and distorting, the prohibition is for setting fires on the beaches, not for littering, that's all you want, nobody is going to tell you anything. The problem is if you make fire, or not.

      • paldo says:

        Also, if you read the article a bit, continuing with the distortion and the smoke screen, and the fish that bites its tail; You will read that the next day they are going to clean the beach. Let's see, I'm going to clarify it because if you don't misunderstand, I'm not in favor of NATURE getting dirty. You can rest easy that they have already removed the fire on the beach that scares you so much. Now think about the next thing they are going to ban you, because the next time they will ban something from you. I remember when I was little and I went to the beach and we made a humble bonfire, at that time there were four cats. That is already part of the past and memory. In Denia it is no longer possible. They have prohibited it, but not only to me but to all the youth and families that met on that day in a unique and special environment. I guess it's something that only those who have performed these customs can understand, the rest don't care. It's understandable. But that is the direction that Denia has been taking for years. Destroy everything that made Denia what it is. We no longer have a fishing port. How are we going to put our hands to our heads for that prohibition. In reality, seen what we have seen, it is the minimum... thank you we had to give... then you are surprised that young people seek better life opportunities abroad.

        • Luis says:

          I neither distort, nor mix, nor divert. People are dirty, selfish and uncivil, that is the main problem. As for your need to try to explain yourself, ignoring or questioning the intellectual capacity of the other, it is your need, that only you will know why you do it, but that places you precisely below the other. Maybe you received such a toxic education and you're just repeating what you've seen at home. You can get out of it. Cheer up!

        • paldo says:

          Someone who submits to sectarian prohibitions is not going to judge my education for claiming freedom. Go to the park to eat pipes and stop mixing the churros with the merinos, you don't find out, I repeat it a thousand times, you can see that you don't get it. You have already made it clear that you love submission, that you are prohibited and dictated, we are already clear that you like to be protected from fire. But what you don't know about, you who claim and cling to the dirt with which I don't agree either; It is that no matter how much garbage you throw away, drones will not come to watch you or fine you, they will only fine you for making a miserable fire. Rethink things, read a book and try to educate yourself in a more constructive, critical and free-thinking way, you will see how you stop seeing toxic things when they throw ideas at you with a glimmer of common sense, even if they are contrary to yours. Learn to listen and have more reading comprehension, as I told you before, both from the article and when you have a conversation. Greetings and good weekend Luis

    Like any good authoritarian regime, instead of legislating and conciliating, it prohibits itself.

    • Ignacio says:

      Sure, but also collect your trash and clean the beach so you can use it without looking like a landfill. If you think we save cleaning, total, many would not notice the difference.

  4. Arto says:

    We will have to put an end to these traditions that do not bring anything positive to the people, it only brings incivility and dirt. Let's see when the bulls are eliminated too. "We have to move forward, we are late!"

    • Aldo says:

      Since this celebration represents an ancestral rite (of a non-Christian nature -keep reading to understand the reason for mixing with religion-), like so many others, such as the Fallas, I like them more or less; and I assure you that they were there before church. By that rule of 3 let's put an end to churches too and any religious festival that messes up.

      Having seen what I have seen, it does not surprise me that many feel attracted and love to feel repression and prohibition.

    • Jopelin says:

      Exactly, and to avoid dirt, dogs that do nothing more than c*gar and piss on the street must also be prohibited.
      wow arguments

    • Ignacio says:

      One issue is Tradition and another is being uncivil sluts. Or is that also tradition?

  5. Pau (FR) says:

    Well, it seems to me well.
    You have to think that this measure is taken first due to the extremely high risk of fire with all that it implies.
    No one is prohibited from going to the beach, getting their feet wet, meeting friends or family around a small table with beach chairs, having a snack and enjoying a festive evening in peace.
    I think that before ranting we should all do our part, so as not to have the beaches full of circles of embers, glass bottles, cans, papers and other garbage the next day.

    • Paul says:

      Dear pau, this is a tradition that has been practiced since before Christ. I think you should rethink it yourself.

      They try to protect us from our stupidity, and they forbid us fire, which burns….. We go backwards and for people like you; that if they don't tell him, this yes, this no, he doesn't know how to act. Give thanks that they protect you from the fire, I don't. I would like to have a minimum freedom within civility. There are many alternatives before BAN.

      It is clear that you like the prevailing authoritarianism.

      • Pau (FR) says:

        Dear Paul,
        I thank you for your answer, however I ask you not to judge so lightly what I like or what I don't.
        I understand your position and I respect it without further qualification.
        But understand that I personally care more about the environment, environment and common well-being than some fires on the beach in the middle of the drought.
        I think that with incivility we have quite a lot of experience here in Denia, several serious forest fires caused by it.
        If you know of an alternative that satisfies the majority and is respectful of the rest, I invite you to propose it.
        And the last thing, freedom does not mean at all that everyone can do what they want, modern and democratic society is governed by laws and agreements accepted by the widest majority and always for the benefit and thinking of society in its set.
        Kindest regards.

        • Pablo says:

          You like prohibitions, right?

          You don't like the night of Sant Joan, I understand you, the mayor doesn't like it either.

          He does not like having to manage that party, which has no father, no mother, no subsidy included, and no one who can suck from the boat (for now). That's why you don't like it. If it were promoted, and bonfires were made to great fanfare and everything was normalized, I would like to see the point of view of many. Greetings.

        • Luis says:

          Pablo as long as people pick up their trash there are no problems. But they don't and here you are crying.

      • Ignacio says:

        Pablo, where did you get that going to the beach in Denia at this time to make bonfires, drink, eat, dance and whatever comes up, is it a tradition from before Christ?

        • Pablo says:

          Read a little about the summer solstice. It is not my obligation to illustrate.

        • Ignacio says:

          Pablo, the one who believes that only he reads books or only he knows things, that only he has received an education not like the others... he doesn't even know people but he doesn't care so much... In "Denia" exactly since before Christ already The Summer Solstice was celebrated because Pablo knows it firsthand. In reality it was the first party, the original one, the matrix of all, later it already spread throughout the world like paella.

        • Pablito says:

          If you ask, I answer. Now you are offended, if you are the one who says that I have taken myself I don't know what from I don't know where. I'm telling you to read about the summer solstice. It is the answer to your question. Greetings

    • Rudolf says:

      Dear Paul…. Sand does not burn or spread fires.
      The cans, garbage, butts, poop, papers... etc... are there with or without the San Juan festival.
      Those families that go to the beach with little tables and snacks also dirty and contaminate and even more so when they carry a cassette radio with music at full blast.

  6. Dani says:

    About time campfires were banned.
    Always drunk and fighting.
    I am glad that there is someone who really cares about the people and who does not do like the PP:
    Criticize and steal money.
    Now it's time to resist and pray that Spain does not fall into that trap that is Vox.

    • Marco Antonio says:

      Vox will save the traditions. And you know it, but you don't want to see it.

      No party more interested in safeguarding traditions.

      God keep us from the left, look how my country looks

  7. eva crespo says:

    Venezuela paradise next to Denia! Franco a schoolboy next to this crowd that calls itself liberal and progressive! In all the brochures of Alicante, the bonfires of San Juan appear to attract tourism, because it is an ancestral festival and it has a lot of meaning in Alicante! They forbid it so as not to clean the fathoms and the bottle! With what is paid in garbage tax!!! More than in valencia!!!! We should make a general and huge bonfire and give us all! Or we stand up or what will be next???
    The megaphone already seems like the Host! You are on the beach relaxing and these people take you back to live with Franco! You are indeed fascists! In Javea and Oliva you can do it 🔥 the same as in almost the entire Valencian coast! One night a year! Poor children who will grow up without knowing history and tradition. indoctrinators!

  8. Roberto says:

    Both defend tourism. And the locals cannot carry out these ancestral practices.

    If it were a party that gives money. If only the locals will enjoy it. If there weren't the massification that promotes tourism money. We would see.

    Bus to the sea there it continues. No gifts. Because it gives little money to fill the buxaca to the mayor and his henchmen complicit councilors

  9. Ignacio says:

    They shouldn't forbid it, nor should they clean the beaches of all the garbage that people are going to throw away and leave on the beach, that they spill over in their filth and in the laziness and filthiness of not picking it up and throwing it in a container . But the problem comes when the rest of society goes to the beach and we find all that garbage. But of course thinking at that level of civility and responsibility is too evolved for many.

  10. Underworld says:

    trash traditions
    all prohibitions
    That is what the progress of the "Country" brings
    Sorry guys have voted otherwise
    We stay at home, we do not get our feet wet, nor do we make a bonfire with friends…. They watch us to fine us.

  11. Ximo Alcubies says:

    Dictators!!!!. Go enjoy what you voted. You only know how to prohibit and lie and then the word freedom does not fall out of your mouth. What a farce! No fires between friends and family who are being watched by a police drone. Psoe and Compromis repressive parties. Fines, bans and more fines and more bans, more rules and dictatorship. Gross.
