We had the news of the first, but by deference to the Fundació Naveració Oceanica Barcelona, organizer of the Barcelona World Race, we put it in the drawer waiting for it to be the right time... other means of nautical court with contempt for the gravity of the situation dared to burn the environment, when true support for the candle and Barcelona, was to remain silent... and to expect events.

Since we saw it advisable to communicate our opinion, with unfortunately all the fish sold we said it with courage and clarity: BARCELONA'S ALCALDESA has borne the WORLD RACE BARCELONA, and now 24 hours later, everyone, even the Catalan left, has joined our view, that the decision is one more barbarity of this lady, who seems to be her main task is to hurt one of the signage cities on a continental level, at least in its international projection as the unquestionable capital of the Mediterranean.

In the first few moments a smoke curtain was launched from the Fundació itself... that if the blame has been on the Central Government... that if the budgets are not approved... yes gentlemen the "guilt has been of the cha cha... "because Jaume Collboni, leader of the Barcelona City Council of the Socialist Party of Catalonia, declared,"THE MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT HAS FORTED THE CANCELLATION OF AN EVENT GENERATING AN ECONOMIC IMPACT OF 23 MILLION EURO"... adding Collboni:"that the municipal government should remove a key project for the sport promotion of the city from the back door is serious because Colau dismantles it one of the tools of international economic promotion," also the socialist leader has accused the city council of disinterest, that is to say to charge the Barcelona World Race...

ND said it yesterday Sunday before the sun came up... "Barcelona goes downhill on the roll" from the hand of this hopeful character like the Colau, without the capacity to lead a town... that is leading to the disaster all to a Barcelona...

Even ERC through Alfred Bosch was strong in publicly manifesting:"public money cannot be spent on campaigns to promote Barcelona and then suspend events that are events that turn the world around... have taken Barcelona off the international map..." and of course C's and PP have also shown their tremendous anger.

Barcelona has a very serious problem to keep as a nautical reference, in this mayor full of social complexes, very culturally limited, who breathes hatred and grudge for their pores... having the present revanchism always... with these ingredients the disaster is closer than we think.

29 / 03 / 2018: Cancelled the Barcelona World Race 2019 by the political situation

The Barcelona World Race will not leave Barcelona on January 12, problems in the tax relief of the sponsors according to the organizers... when the reality is very different... because the main reason is given by the hopeful political direction of the city's municipal corporation, which has led the Patronate of this great event to make the decision already on March 22 to start working for the 2022 edition, and to forget as a result of the current edition....

The decision that was in the process of maturation was leaked along the Holy Wednesday late in the afternoon, causing few of us to have information about the sad news, uncertainty and concern pending the announced press release that the Patronate would offer in the early hours of Holy Thursday, as it did.

Ada Colau is behind this unexpected cancellation... so published by the Vanguard of the hands of Jesus Garcia

The damage that the political situation is causing to Catalan society has not yet begun to offer its worst face, the dispurposes and the intransigence of the coup, is making an invoice that can lead the economy from this autonomy to bankruptcy. The latest news in our nautical world, the huge fall of the Barcelona Nautical Hall which is practically a regional sample, or the performance of the Catalan Vela Federation in the last international quotes in which we have simply given a very painful and regrettable image, or the sports tragedy of one of the most important quotes of the world's ocean sail such as the cancellation of the Barcelona World Race, are clear samples that as the Luthiers sang, "Catalonia goes downhill on the roll."

This is the summary of the statement sent to the media a few minutes ago by the Patronaro of the Foundation for Ocean Navigation in Barcelona:

1) The economic situation of the State, at the level of the approval of its general budgets that were resolved with extensions, as well as the 2015 elections and the whole process for the absence of majorities and the convening of new elections, caused a very difficult situation at the organizational level... in the face of uncertainty with the issue of the charges of the event, as it is "exceptional at the public level."

2) The news of recent weeks in the media, regarding the expected impact on the general budgets of the State of these events... and the change of criterion in the use of advertising media for this purpose...

This is the part of the communiqué in which the Organization puts the State in the candlestick for the damage that political circumstances have caused to the BWR, which has led to the fact that it is impossible with this situation to carry it out, reiterating the uncertainty of tax relief... In the final part of that writing we talk about the excesses of the event, and the enormous interest at the international level... It obviously misses the sincerity of the reasons, perhaps as Catalan society is prey to its actions, there is no courage to express the real reasons for what happened.
