The Cabildo's Heritage Department has denied that the Arrecife City Council submitted a request for permission to hold the Carnaval Porteño in the Ramírez Cerdá Park "several months ago" as stated by its Councilor for Festivities, David Duarte, who criticized on Radio Lanzarote-Onda Cero that despite this, it had not arrived, forcing them to reduce the event to a single stage, the Islas Canarias Park. In addition, the first institution "urges" the councilor "to present the appropriate procedures for the bullring, so that there are no problems later."
Specifically, according to statements from the Cabildo, it was on December 22 when the authorization request for the Carnaval Porteño was registered, when "they are more than warned that they must do it with more advance notice." "There has been no time," they pointed out from the institution, recalling that Christmas was in between and that, for the delivery of the permit, "a report must be made and it must go to the Commission."
The Cabildo of Lanzarote also "urges" the Councilor for Festivities of Arrecife "to present the appropriate procedures for the bullring, so that there are no problems later," a parade that is scheduled to take place on February 13, Carnival Tuesday.
