The controversy is served in the face of the Kings Parade of Dénia. The row of women Amazigh, Mora captaincy this year, has reported that the City Council "They don't let any Amazigh get in the float".
But let's start at the beginning: every year, from the Department of Festivities, the floats between failing commissions and filaes de Moors and Christians. The failures They follow an order, and in the case of Moors and Christians, since last year, is the Federation that circumvents which will handle captaincy represent a king in the parade.
Last Saturday, during the presentation dinner of the Moorish captaincy, the draw was held and the filà Amazigh was chosen. The captain, MªJosé López, appointed her husband and standard-bearer, Salva Gil, the task of representing a wizard king, and next to him, two festive women would act as pages on the float. Faced with this proposal, the City Council informed them that this year the pages must be men, and proposed that the Christian captain, Kiko Sentí, along with two Templars, who represents the king. The council's reasons were based on the fact that the captain, despite not having won the FEMMICC draw, has a higher rank than the standard-bearer.
After this response of the Council of Celebrations, the captain issued an email with a new proposal which required "That my will be respected to decide who should represent me". The captain chose Miguel Ángel Fullana, president of the Federation, as the wizard king, and as pages, Salva Gil and the Christian captain, Kiko Sentí.
This proposal was accepted by the City Council this week, but apparently, the captain went to the mayor's office on Friday morning to make knowledgeable about this situation. Finally, a meeting for next Wednesday, December 7, which finally clarify the situation with a solution that pleases all parties concerned agreed.
Paris Pedrera failure will take another king
This year will be the Paris fails Pedrera which is responsible for another king. Also, new, beginning this year will be the City Council who is in charge of King Belshazzar. And is that, since the council directed Eva Round, Consider it important that this king is represented by a person of color. That is why it will be the Festival Committee and Quintos 2017 those charged with this float.
I feel very good that King Belshazzar is a person of color. What I do not seem normal that the king takes Melchor face painted white, and Gaspar de Marron, since it is very artificial.
Let the children enjoy the Magi as always
