| The Mayor asks the Autonomous Community for clear guidelines on the possible sale of pyrotechnic material | The bonfires of San Juan will not be able to be celebrated this year with the aim of avoiding crowds that could favor the spread of the coronavirus.The mayor, Ana Belén Castejón, asked the president of the Autonomous Community, Fernando López Miras, this morning, during the weekly meeting with the mayors of the Region, for clear regulations on the sale of pyrotechnic material.“The bonfires of San Juan have a long tradition in our municipality.

They can be suspended to avoid concentrations of more than a hundred people, as we are going to do, but we cannot prevent young people from being left to launch firecrackers and pyrotechnic material.

This issue worries us a lot and so I have transferred it to the president of the Community, to whom I have requested clear guidelines on the sale of pyrotechnic material, "said the mayor.Likewise, Castejón has highlighted the need for the Government of Spain to clear all doubts about how the City Councils will be able to manage their own surplus."In the words of Abel Caballero, president of the Federation of Municipalities and Provinces, the City Councils want to use these resources in their entirety because they are the savings of each municipality and province, of the citizens of each municipality and province and must be used in their area .

We also propose that the rules be relaxed so that even if we fall into deficit this year, in an extraordinary way, we do not have to make an economic-financial compensation plan.

I am not saying it, Abel Caballero says it, we need our surpluses to face this crisis ”, Castejón has indicated.With regard to the central government's proposal that part of these surpluses be destined to the minimum vital income, the mayor has emphasized the need for liquidity and personnel to carry it out.“The Federation has requested that three funds be created for Local Entities: one for social and economic recovery; another for the support of urban public transport and a third to be able to meet the minimum vital income.

That should be so since, otherwise, we would be forced to request more indebtedness ", explained Castejón.
