Jesús Pobre celebrated the 20 years of its constitution as EATIM, presuming to be "Per Semper Poble"

February 18 from 2019 - 09: 39

The 16 of February of 1999 the Generalitat Valenciana published the decree by which the constitution of Jesús Pobre was approved as a minor local entity. A not easy achievement, which involved many people over several years, since it was decided to apply for it in the 1996 year.

Last Saturday 20 years of that constitution were fulfilled, and the history of those years was reviewed by the protagonists of the story in the institutional act that they organized in the town hall of Jesús Pobre.

Between 1987 and 1995 the pedáneo mayor was Vicent Pérez, who remembered that, until the 1991 year, it was the mayor of Dénia who elected the president of Jesús Pobre. 1991 was already elected by direct vote for the first time, although in 1995 it was dismissed by the mayor of Dénia. From that moment and until 1996 was the mayor of Dénia who decided in the district.

In 1997, the mayor of Dénia, Sebastià García, called a referendum to elect the representative of Jesús Pobre, with Josep Lluís Fornés, the last mayor of the town, elected. A year later, in 1998, the plenary session of the Dénia City Council approved the constitution of this EATIM, which became a reality a year later.

The EATIM grew with the constitution, in July of 1999, of the first Neighborhood Meeting of the EATIM of Jesús Pobre. Between 2003 and 2011 the mayor was Antonio Llobell and, from 2011, Javier Scotto.

To celebrate this anniversary, banners hang from the town hall balconies with the phrase Per Semper Poble, by Vicent Andrés Estellés, which summarizes the identity of Jesús Pobre.

The commemorative acts were completed with the exhibition that was inaugurated on Friday afternoon on the history of the Minor Local Entity and the concert of Onades. In addition, after the institutional act, a Torrà popular in the square that gathered the neighbors in a festive day.
