The municipality of Redován has kicked off its patron celebrations dedicated to the Virgin of Health and San Miguel, with the act of presenting its party book, which this year opens with the illustration of its cover “a window to Redován de la ilusión ”, as the author indicates, who prefers to remain anonymous, as explained by the mayor of the municipality, Nely Ruiz. The festive book brings together the most important events of the last year in the municipality, as well as stories, customs, anecdotes and stories provided by the neighbors.
Nely Ruiz thanked those responsible for the Department of Festivities for the work done for the preparation of the festivities, the first as mayor, who “who exceed the previous ones every year”, by proposing “leave a memory in the mind of the Redovans endearing and special ”. The mayor has emphasized the important weight that the festivities have in the municipality, inviting “all the towns in the region to come to Redován and spend with us these days of celebration, coexistence and tradition.”
Likewise, and as in previous years, the various campaigns aimed at avoiding situations of alcohol abuse, harassment or sexist attitudes, and urging the cleaning of public spaces during the celebrations have been highlighted. The “Talented” campaign encourages neighbors to enjoy the parties with responsibility and “without going over” with the drink, while the “You do not have my permission” campaign will raise awareness in the streets towards respect episodes of harassment or sexist violence, and it will be done by the volunteers who will wear an orange bracelet and who will help anyone who needs it.
