After Governor Rocío Nahle commented that she would seek to speak with the mayor of Veracruz, Patricia Lobeira Rodríguez, to return the Carnival to the traditional dates, the municipal president stated that it would be impossible because two carnivals cannot be held in one fiscal year.
“With us it would be practically impossible because as we have already explained, when we arrived due to the COVID issue, that date was passed and, well, it would be very complicated to hold two carnivals in a single fiscal year, so we could not pay for two carnivals in one year.”
Interviewed in the rehearsal of the government report that she made in the Zócalo of Veracruz, she stressed that greater coordination between the City Council and the state government would be ideal to do not only the Carnival, but more works together.
“We would love to have more coordination in the Veracruz Carnival and not just in that, but also in construction, there are important works that cannot be carried out with the City Council’s budget, but if we coordinate and do it together, they could be carried out.”
He reiterated that the change of date was made due to the COVID-19 contingency, so that it would not be cancelled, it was moved to the summer, but returning it to February would be two carnivals in a single fiscal year.
