The President of the Generalitat, Ximo Puig, together with the Minister of Health, Ana Barceló, yesterday made the official announcement of the measures for the first phase of the de-escalation. But, in addition, they made public their intention to mediate with the Valencian town councils to prevent the traditional days of Fallas and the Magdalena.
Although there had been talk for days about what the relief of restrictions would be, few expected the Consell to announce the decision to cancel the holidays related to the two big weeks in the province of Castellón and Valencia which, as we well know, will beyond these borders since Dénia and other municipalities of the Marina Alta they also fill up with gunpowder during the week of March 19.
The government has called meetings with the city councils of Valencia and Castellón to urge them that the days that are traditionally holidays in the school calendar be temporarily eliminated to "avoid creating any festive atmosphere." A decision that if accepted seems to be that it would only affect school courses and not the work calendar.
Despite the fact that the holidays in the school calendars serve for the rest of the students, being able to choose to invest the time in the festive leisure or in any other way to get angry, the Generalitat seems determined to avoid that such breaks can be celebrated to avoid the pandemic spreads. However, there is still nothing firm, which will result from the aforementioned meetings that will take place in the next few days.
That they do not annul them that they celebrate them when they open everything to the tourists. If they can come here, do we have to lock ourselves up or what? Do we annoy tourists or is it the other way around? Either all or none but here we don't have to make any effort when tourists are considered above all else.
