The facades of the olive city threaten to turn white this Christmas. And not as a decoration, in which each year the Abel Caballero City Council intends to stand out even more, but as a protest against what they consider three months of non-stop torture, due to the socialist’s desire to turn Vigo into a “park of attractions” from November to January. This was reported this Thursday by various neighborhood associations, which have made a call to hang white sheets from balconies and windows for the duration of the festivities to show their disagreement with the local government’s decision to fill the city with lights and attractions to attract every year to thousands of people. «The efforts of the Vigo City Council and especially of Mr. Abel Caballero to convert the center of this fishing and industrial city into a theme park is leading the neighborhood to an extremely difficult situation, causing year after year, the festivals of the “Christmas ends up becoming the worst possible nightmare,” says a manifesto from the Neighborhood Association of the Central Zone of Vigo signed by at least six other organizations. It is this Thursday, starting at 8:00 p.m., when these associations will kick off what they have called the white sheets campaign, with which they hope to highlight “the torture” to which they are “subjected” by the City Council “for more than three months a year.” They denounce, in this way, the lack of security measures that guarantee access and mobility times for emergency services; difficulties in moving and accessing jobs; problems for the most vulnerable people and difficulties in attending medical appointments; in addition to the noise, dirt, garbage and economic losses that the overcrowding of people generates in small businesses.

A model that has ended up becoming a monster that attacks any vision of a sustainable city model, respectful of the environment, and its cultural heritage. As the TSXG made clear, all of this violates the fundamental rights of people residing in Vigo,” they say in the manifesto. Among the signatory associations are the Federation of Neighborhood Associations of Vigo Eduardo Chao, Avbe, the Historical Vigo Association, the Os Ninguéns Socio-educational Forum, Ecoloxistas en Acción and the Vigo Morrazo Tourist Massification Front Platform.
