Jesús Pobre trusts that in the next edition (August 2018) the Scheldt be BIC

The way of the Scheldt Pansa In order to be declared an Asset of Intangible Cultural Interest, it faces its final stretch. After the modifications recommended by the Department, this Tuesday the mayor and president of Jesús Pobre, Javier Scotto, presented the technical documentation necessary to obtain the denomination by check-in.
