"Let's talk" demand a large part of the Spanish left to solve in Catalonia, even if it is with criminals.
The first thing is democracy and understanding.
Even before they comply with the laws according to some great "enlightened buddhas" of national politics.
But this miracle recipe seems like it can not be prescribed at all equally.
Yesterday I proposed in the information commissions to fully enact the motion that I attached with the eagerness to see the widespread discomfort in the totaneros for the change of the day of the Romería of rise of the Patron for the January 13.
The Board of Trustees was well advised to rethink its decision and to keep the traditional January 7th for the year 2018. This proposal, once explained to the other political groups, was approved by the popular group to raise the plenary for debate and dismissed by the municipal groups of the PSOE and IU that govern these totaneras lands.
With what will not go to full so that not even, "dialogue".
I hope that we see this "democratic force" applied to delinquents or seditious politicians to enforce the laws in the defense of the interests of all Spaniards.
If from the beginning of this matter all the political groups have publicly declared that they did not care one day that another, and the final decision to be able to change or not, corresponds to the parish priest of the Santiago church, why they have not been well this process to raise the proposal of change of the date to the members of the Patronage and that they could return to deliberate calmly of the subject with the new parish priest ?.
No popular consultation that it has been proposed to do, or lack thereof, is binding nor can it go beyond the final decision of the parish priest.
Therefore, the only reasonable way to try to retract the date of the Pilgrimage to January 7 to 2018, date that in this case also fulfills the main objective that is marked by the Patronage that there is an influx of people from other locations.
It was that from this Consistory, its members - representative of the totaneros, as they say - again proposed to the Patronato to rethink the date again.
Even more so when all the political groups have representatives in the Patronage.
But me.
So, that very nice maxim of "let's talk" and "dialogue" seems not to apply equally to everyone.
Why is it ...?
MOTION TO THE ORDINARY PLENARY OF OCTOBER 2017
REQUESTING TO MODIFY THE LOCAL FESTIVITY DAY OF THE PATRON'S RISE ROMERÃA AND THAT IS ON JANUARY 7TH FOR THE YEAR 2018.
Every year this City Council communicates to the Autonomous Community the dates of two working holidays to draft the working calendar.
In Totana they are being the 10 of December and the Romería of rise of the day 7 of January.
In 2018 this day of rise falls on Sunday and the councilman of festivities gets in touch with the officials of the Patronage of La Santa earlier this year.
D. Jose, the previous priest of the church of Santiago, tells him that on Saturday January 13 would be the ideal.
That falling on day 7 on Sunday, the custom, according to the father, is to spend the holiday the following Saturday.
At a meeting of the members of the Board of Trustees dated January 18, 2017, it was agreed to propose the day of January 13, 2018. The Councilor of Festivals transfers to the April plenary session this proposal of the parish priest, although it is the traditional date on Monday if it falls on Sunday, as already the spokesman of the socialist group in the plenary after asking several older people.
This controversy of the change of dates of the pilgrimage of rise of the Patrona based on what some or others understand like "traditions", has been mixed with the days that must be marked like local holidays by this Consistory and has been generating a discomfort growing general among the totaneros.
Speaking at a press conference of the Councilman of celebrations dated September 1 said: "(...) possibly the people opine another thing, so long as the Patronage and the church are, the competent to set the day of pilgrimage of the Holy , we from the City Council, logically, the only thing we can do is set as a local holiday day that day. "To questions about the possibility of changing the date in the face of widespread malaise, Councilman celebrates:" if the majority is in agreement with the Church, before the Patronage, their disagreement (...), in fact, I have contacted the general direction of labor relations, I have been told that they are still waiting for two more municipalities to notify them of their holiday dates (...), so I understand that there is still time to make the necessary changes, but I tell you, it is the responsibility of the church and the Board of Trustees, since they were themselves
you who agreed. "
On October 4, the Patronato issued a statement stating the reason for proposing that it be on January 13 the one of the rise of the Patroness: (...) and without forgetting that it corresponds to the parish priest of Santiago the Mayor of Totana , the final decision in the case of a religious celebration, it is agreed: "PROPOSE TO THE CITY COUNCIL AS APPROPRIATE DATE FOR THE REALIZATION OF THE RISE ROMANCE, ONLY AND ONLY FOR THE YEAR 2018, ON JANUARY 13, IN THE SEARCH OF AN ELDERLY PARTICIPATION AND SIGNIFICANCE, SINCE THE DATA OF THE LAST YEARS PRESENT USALLY, A DECREASE OF ASSISTANTS WHEN THE TRANSFER IS CELEBRATED ON A DIFFERENT DAY ON SATURDAY. "
The parish priest is responsible for the final decision to propose that date within the Patronage and to this Consistory to consider whether or not it will be one of the two local holidays to be sent to prepare the work calendar.
Regarding the possibility of changing the date from January 13 to 7, the Board of Trustees states in its communication: 4º.- At a meeting held on Wednesday, September 13, the Board (...), decides to ratify in the same terms and by the same reasons as in the meeting held on January 18 of this year (...).
5º.- At the same meeting of September 13, the Board of Trustees (...), to initiate a participatory process to be celebrated in the coming months, so that the affected people can freely express their position regarding future transfers with a Process participatory, consultative and non-binding, which is still to be defined in its proposals and implementation, and for which the opinions of the founding entities, the Obispado de Cartagena and the City of Totana will be counted.
Last October 9, 2017 members of ADSYSE (association for the defense of the sanctuary of the saint and its environment), who are collecting signatures to keep the traditional date, with more than 1,500 supports, met with members of the Patronato to discuss the change of date.
Keeping this his proposal of January 13, 2018 for the rise of the Patron.
On 11 October, this Independent Councilman held a telephone conversation with staff of the General Directorate of Labor Relations and Social Economy of the Autonomous Community of Murcia.
He was informed that on that same day they published the Resolution of September 29, 2017 in relation to the calendar of labor holidays for 2018 including January 13 in the same.
I am also informed that in case of wanting to change some date in the calendar.
There would be no problem if it is by majority decision of this Corporation, then proceed to its modification in the BORM.
For all the above and in defense of the popular feeling of the totaneros on this issue that has been emerging.
The Independent Councilman makes this Municipal Corporation for approval the following;
- PROPOSAL: In order to attend to the concern generated in a part of the population in the last months and, on the other hand, the demand of the Patronato to celebrate the Romería the day of January 13 by the fact of being Saturday and thus, that more people from other localities can go to that Pilgrimage.
1º- That the Patronage of the Santa be elevated by this Corporation for its debate, that to fall in 2018 on January 7 in Sunday, is this one of celebration of the Romería.
Fulfilling the initial objective pursued by this Patronage in relation to there being more influx of people and on the other, to maintain the "tradition or custom" of the rise in the patronage for the day of January 7, but without passing it to the next day as was done in other times by causes of force majeure that today, do not occur.
2º- That it is proposed to the Patronage, that from 2019 the day of the Romería could be the Saturday or Sunday following the day of kings in later years.
In order to establish a formula that today, content to most of the parties and not lead to confusion to the population.
