CARNIVAL STARTS ... NOW WHAT?
By Luis de la Vega
With these words show their dissatisfaction many friends with whom I had occasion to chat about the upcoming carnival festivities, whose official program was introduced a couple of days ago the media, at least one.
not believe that there is something in these words of resignation, as is well known that the town is easygoing carnival heart and although the current organizers have said that it is a "tradition" but a "whole dances "to most love.
I fear is happening something I had said before both in print and on television and that is, because the Committee or who deal with these parties, the public grew accustomed to a series of musical concerts and away from the Carnival.
course if in addition to this, now in the current administration who is responsible for the holidays, put inexperienced people and the way they talk about financial shortages, the result is in sight and starts, apparently, to close the Carnival chapter always boast.
I can not mention many details about the case which I speak because I was not invited to the "official launch" (even though I already had a previous experience anything nice) because either I am not sympathetic to the cultural mafia or simply am not a journalist for them.
In both cases, personally, I do not care anyway because I have my hands on this program, since I will lead for CRT seven of the main events of Carnival and logic I have to have precise data my hands.
But back to the issue that gave rise to the title and I see with sadness that very few people care what happens to the Carnival, but there are numerous critics of the failures of the current organization, for reasons of austerity say, presented the program so far.
With the support of Internet and data provided by some colleagues that we as "Queen of Show" Maribel Guardia, a lady of very good looking and very respectable, but it is appropriate to mention the budget to organizing parties.
bit of the other artists I can talk because I do not know, maybe because of my age do not interest me "brincones", although I read a lot about people in fashion. So I guess that will be consistent the "austerity" Carnival 2011. So pay little.
However I repeat guilt is not of the municipal administration, at least not entirely, but above that many were measured at International artists bring high prices, people accustomed to "good" show and now if you can not afford it ...
What bothers me is all they have invested the families of those who led the festivities (Reyes youth, children and other ranks) and time spent on something that, in the absence of artists do not know how to value the public as it is spoiled.
If we see a positive, can that serves as something to return to former glory carnival of Campeche, where the ingenuity prevailed over the luxury and ostentation. That would be a star on the front of Don Carlos Ernesto, but I do not think that's the intention.
Since it is known that from shortly before his swearing in as Mayor, and continues inveighed against everything that you sound like another game and I think that is the basis of what happens, will disrupt Carnival image to give him their predecessors.
This links him to put in charge of organizing these parties to people not only inexperienced, but bitter for reasons I fail to understand and in addition to seeking "revenge" for his personal paranoia profit with those who have been charged and who can not play.
The problem, apparently, no is too large and is only a matter of shaping the people natured celebrations always eager to counter the shortage of events (carried its climax by the Ministry of Culture) but we must think of "political capital."
Because I have understood that the citizen president of the municipal government plans to continue in politics and, frankly speaking, I think we will achieve as they strive not only to maintain a certain belligerence against others, but to keep this "his people."
great pity because personally I am not unsympathetic to the contrary, but the stubbornness of wanting to acknowledge their faults may be of harm in the long run. Still have time to reconsider before re-hear again: "I started the Carnival ... so what?
