Different councils and the Fallera Local Board join forces "for the planet and a fairer world"
This morning the City Council of Dénia and the Fallera Local Board have announced the list of joint actions that they will carry out during the festivities in ecological matters and raising awareness against sexist violence.
In order to carry out these campaigns, the Local Fallera Board, the Department of Fiestas, the Department of Addictive Behaviors, the Department of Equality and the Department of Ecological Transition have joined forces. It is the councilor of the latter, Maite Pérez Conejero, who has announced the first of the actions: the creation of a reusable glass for use at parties. The purpose of this measure is to limit the use of plastic and disconnect the party to dirt, for which 5000 units will be distributed among the different commissions so that they can be used as of tomorrow, when the Germanor Soup.
In addition, according to the Councilor for Equality, Javier Scotto, the message will be labeled on these glasses "Without a yes it is NO!" so that it is always present during the Fallas, since it has a tape to be able to carry it hanging around the neck.
Failures without plastic or machismo
Two violet points with trained people will also be available on March 16 and 17, and a flyer with a decalogue of how to act against sexist aggressions will be included in all units of the Llibre de Falles.
The Councilor for Addictive Behavior, Melani Ivars, has presented the posters that will be distributed to each commission with the slogan "For responsible consumption. Live the party with two toes", with which they seek to raise awareness about the dangers of alcohol abuse . "You can live the party with responsible consumption", said the mayor.
The president of the Local Board Fallera, Juan Salvador Pérez, has expressed his gratitude for the involvement of the City Council with this campaign and for having the importance of the fallero collective. According to Pérez, it is wise to choose the failures to carry messages to raise awareness since they have a large participation of people of all ages, being the largest festive group of the Marina Alta and the Marina Baja.
