The deputy mayor of Fiestas and Carnival of the City of Cádiz, Beatriz Gandullo, has defended that the reaction of the public this last Sunday at the Great Theater Falla during the performance of a chirigota considered “denialist” enters into “freedom of expression” , ensuring that “if you have to open a debate” after what happened to establish some type of preselection or filter, “we will open it in the environment in which we can do it, which is the Carnival Participation Council”.
“Just as there is freedom of expression to come to bring a repertoire, there is freedom of expression for the public to respond to what he sees. And what we saw last night is what the public wanted to express. Absolute freedom, ”said Beatriz Gandullo on this matter.
In addition, he recalled that the curtain descent “is no longer contemplated in the bases”, when this option is withdrawn from them, understanding that the jury “has other criteria now to assess the group itself” and that it is not up to the government Local that curtain descent. “Everyone has freedom of expression and what we saw last night is not pleasant to face such decisions,” he added.
That is why he has pointed out that “if you have to open a debate, we will open it” and that “we are willing to listen to everything we have to hear and of course to continue improving.” In that sense, he explained that COAC is “a living contest” in which “every year changes and modifications are introduced for the sake of its improvement” and that “there is no decision made by the government team that does not come by the hand of the groups ”linked to this Cadiz party.
Asked about the option of establishing some type of filter or preselection for the contest in the fault, Gandullo has indicated that it is an issue that “never” has been raised in the Carnival Participation Council, although “there have been some authors who have moved personally. ”
“If you have to open it, we have no inconvenience,” he said, the councilor, who recalled that the government team “does not value the quality of the groups” that compete in the COAC and that “they have not come to change anything if The Carnival does not want. ” “If it is a debate to have to open a preselection, we will take it to the Council and we will discuss it, of course,” he said.
In addition, he pointed out that the COAC jury has “48 hours” to assess “if some type of law has been violated” during the action of this group, and that “if we are transferred, since the necessary measures will be taken and that they are established by law ”.
On the performance of the chirigota ‘Open her eyes’, the councilor has refused to value her, protecting that it is something that does not do with any other throughout the contest, and has transferred an “affectionate affection” to the five other groups that they acted this Sunday in the same session and that “they deserve all our respect” since “they did it spectacularly well, with a tremendous respect and quality,” encouraging that “today everyone” seeks yesterday’s session and ” see carnival by right. ”
