The failures of Denia pay homage to Jaume Bertomeu as Exemplary Fallero of 2018

All the failures of Dénia met this Saturday, after the inauguration of the Exhibition of Ninot, to celebrate the Gala Fallera in the Salons the Poblet, in which in addition to delivering the rewards of Local Board Fallera and Central Board Fallera de València, a tribute was paid to Jaume Bertomeu, Exemplary Fallero of 2018.

The first to take the floor before the awards ceremony was the secretary of the Local Board, Salva Llorens, with a positive speech in which he encouraged the falleros, the authorities and the neighbors to appreciate how big the failures of Dénia and the reference that they suppose for other municipalities of the Region.

Then proceeded to the delivery of rewards, in charge of the greatest fallera of Dénia, Melani Ivars, and the president of the Fallera Local Board, José Vicente Benavente.

The Mayor of Dénia, Vicent Grimalt, and the major infantile faller, Carla Vinaroz, joined Melani and José Vicente to present the recognition to an emotional Jaume Bertomeu, who was surrounded by a large table of friends and family.

The one in charge of directing a few words was Juan Céspedes, fallero of the Falla Diana who was part of the Local Board Fallera as a delegate of Social Networks and Protocol during the mandate of Bertomeu. Céspedes praised the ability of the Exemplary Fallero to make the Local Board a great family that managed to overcome potholes and setbacks, but still continues to maintain the amitad. In addition, he thanked Jaume Bertomeu for all he has taught him because, "Thanks to you I am the fallero that I am"He said.

Then a video was shown in which many people participated that night could not accompany Jaume, sending a message of love to the Fallero Ejemplar.

In his speech, Jaume Bertomeu thanked his commission, the Falla Centro, that he proposed to him for this recognition, and requested an applause for the deceased Tomás Chiner, member of the falla. The Exemplary Fallero recalled the work carried out by the members of its Fallera Local Board during his term, as well as his family, especially his daughters, Marta and Paula. Finally, he demanded that the authorities "let the falleros manage the subsidy money" and ended his speech with a nod to his partner for the effort made that night.
