Dénia prioritizes safety in its festivities by training falleros, FEMMICC and more festive people in the prevention of addictions

14 December 2023 - 12: 00

The Department of Addiction Prevention and the Department of Parties, through the UPCCA of the Dénia City Council, with the collaboration of Hazkunde Prevention, organized training on the Responsible Service Program, aimed at the party entities of Dénia, such as the Local Board Fallera (Commissions Falleras), the Femmicc (Filaes de Moors and Christians) and the Orchard Bonfire.
The two training sessions, attended by Mélani Ivars, councilor for Addiction Prevention, and Raúl García de la Reina, alderman of Fiestas, took place last December 11 and 12, in the House of Culture, and a total of thirty-seven attendees attended. The two councilors wanted to highlight the importance of being part of this healthy circuit, which has been operating in Dénia since 2014.

The main purpose of this program, which is taught nationwide, is to prevent and reduce the risks that the abusive consumption of alcohol and other drugs can produce in leisure contexts, including popular festivals.

The two training sessions, each lasting five hours, allowed representatives of the different entities to be trained to be leaders in the responsible dispensing of alcohol, in the associated risk reduction guidelines and in the projection of protocols to implement. address situations that may arise in these contexts and thus prevent greater evils.

Furthermore, the implementation of the program has helped raise awareness in the festive sector about the importance of the role they play as social and health agents to avoid or reduce the risks associated with the consumption of alcohol and other drugs in festive leisure contexts. Furthermore, the program has helped to value and enhance those actions that are already being carried out in terms of prevention.

The proposed training has been the starting point for these entities to join the healthy circuit of the Responsible Service Program in Dénia, which already includes thirty-five hospitality establishments with their workers and students from the CIPFP of Dénia. On November 15 and 16, training courses aimed at the staff of the city's hospitality establishments took place.

    Cut subsidies for them to buy alcohol. That together we pay for the open bar to partygoers, falleros, Moors and Christians and now the "xarraetas" of psychological support so that the poor drink less...

    Everything is supposed to be regulated and reflected in ordinances, but... no fem cas!! Or we don't see it. Or... we pretend we don't see it and so we go, even a normal walk, it's done with a glass in hand, it's like a new accessory... yes, in a plastic cup or recyclable material, that if we trip over the glass it pupae... and Then we can also leave it anywhere. We have already used a recyclable glass, we are not going to also make an effort to deposit it where it belongs…. ugh, so much effort….

    There is no party without alcohol. ALL the photos of falleros or rows of Moors and Christians are holding glasses of alcohol.

    It is a hypocrisy, all the subsidies that these groups receive result in drunkenness and that from all over Denia, from among Moors and Christians, and Falleros, 37 people show up. It speaks volumes about the scope of this interested initiative to give visibility that something is being done. Simple facade and posture.

    Everyone who is part of these parties should be ashamed of encouraging the use of alcoholic beverages in public, because, even if I don't like it in some way, they are, or are, part of the public image of Dénia, and there should be sanctions.

    But, of course, if at each "festeta", at each "paelleta" they put up their asses with fifths and thirds, among other drugs. Every time I pass through It is dangerous on a personal level, because people who act like this become addicted, even if they try to deny their addiction. And demonize any other drug other than the one they consume, taking refuge and protecting themselves in most cases with their "little beer" and their "little beer."

      Quite right. Here our tax money is used for all these parties. Let them pay for it and the psychological one for addictions too. What a nose they have.
