The El Bruc Town Hall decided to suspend the planned Castanyada activity in compliance with the official mourning decree issued by the Generalitat de Catalunya. In response to public inquiries, the council reiterated that decrees from the Generalitat are mandatory for public administrations.
Failure to comply with such a decree could lead to significant administrative and legal repercussions, including the nullification of decisions and potential disciplinary, civil, or even criminal liabilities for public officials.
Therefore, and out of respect for the established official mourning period, the Town Hall deemed it necessary to suspend the activity. This decision was based on adherence to current regulations and the municipal administration's commitment to responsible institutional conduct.
The Town Hall thanks citizens for their understanding regarding a decision that affected a cherished local celebration and pledges to work towards the normal development of cultural and festive activities in future editions.
