Aangezien we bovenal een vuurwerkforum zijn, heb ik dit bericht even in een apart topic geplaatst, i.p.v. het 'Fallas corona virus topic'.

Pyrotechnics lament the postponement of Fallas: "Discouragement is total" Gunpowder businessmen call the postponement of the holidays as "a great economic blow" that could lead to the closure of companies The pyrotechnics lament the postponement of the Fallas de València and the Magdalena de Castelló for the coronavirus epidemic as a "great economic blow" that could even lead to the closure of companies for the work lost throughout the year. "The discouragement is total," says Ricardo Caballer Jr., of the Ricasa pyrotechnics. After the decision to postpone the holidays, five days after the 'plantà' of the failures in Valencia, the sector warns of a millionaire impact and dismissals if the shots are not resumed in a few months, added to the storage problems caused by Gunpowder restriction as a hazardous material. Pyrotechnics such as Ricardo Caballer or Reyes Martí agree to Europa Press that, although the first thing is health, they could have maintained the acts of neighborhood failures and suspend only the 'mascletaes' in the Town Hall square or fireworks. "It is a very ambiguous decision, but we cannot do more than accept it," said Piroval's manager, Guillermo Rodríguez. Pending the evolution of the coronavirus, they warn that it would not be good if the Fallas coincided with the Fogueres of Alicante at the end of June, because "the workers are the same". "It's very easy to say 'until next year', but what do we do until then?" Asks Ricardo Caballer Jr., to remember that suspending the holidays does not imply that people do not go out. Ricasa, a centenary pyrotechnics with a presence in more than 20 countries, also faces problems outside the Failures due to sales of material to countries such as Japan or the United States. "It is a very big disaster for the whole sector," said the head of the company, and warns that "it is a bigger problem than it seems." With "warehouses full of gunpowder and unpaid workers," Ricardo Caballer Sr. regrets that they will not be able to survive if the shots are not resumed because they have "all the capital invested in the Fallas." In figures, it calculates a minimum of 6,000 euros for pyrotechnics for the 400 failures. This historic pyrotechnic regrets so that "everything has been paralyzed when the days of more joy, movement, sales, petarditos ...". "It's a party that burns and has to start over; it's the life of the Valencian pyrotechnics, the year-round oxygen balloon is the Fallas." "We will endure and, if not, the closure" His son labeled "disaster" the consequences for the sector as a whole, with "losses of one hundred percent," and questions whether the supermarkets should also be closed by the same rule of three: "I don't know how far we will go. what we will endure and, if not, the closing ", before the risk of going from 350,000 euros of billing to zero. Reyes Martí also regrets the "headaches" they face for not being able to pay workers and suppliers. "We want to go out to the street to shoot because it is what we like, but the first thing is safety first," he emphasizes, and remember that on Tuesday there was already a "sad atmosphere" in the epicenter of gunpowder. This pyrotechnic, responsible every year of the 'mascletà' of March 8 dedicated to women, remember that "Fallas are everything: the major falleras, the stops of churros and fritters, the Valencian clothing, the hairdresser ...". "Hopefully this will happen soon," he says. |
