The president of the Galician Federation of Piragüismo and candidate for Spanish: the Pontevedrés Alfredo Bea said this very clearly: if with the discreet help we have from the institutions; among piragüism and sailing we are the masters in Galicia and in Spain of the Olympic glory... imagine what we would be able to achieve with adequate support and in line with our achievements.

Bea's approaches were welcomed with sympathy and interest by the other federations, in an event that was immersed in the Abanca Week, he was supported by Concello da Coruña and his concelleiro Gonzalo Castro, who was very satisfied with the commitment to the nautical that he is supporting. It is not common the image of all the nauta mandamases, together defending themselves collectively by observing that the theme of unity launched at the foot of the Tower of Hercules has been in the atmosphere.

The interventions of the Pyragüism were the most intense of the evening: when it was expressed in the sense that the structure of the Spanish sport is pre-constitutional... and wondered when the power will create a Ministry of Sports, with true lovers of everything that means sport.
Another important point was the complaints for multiple obstacles to water sports in inland waters and the need to change the course, to be approved to the more advanced countries.
