'In this way, the Yecla Carnival joins a long list of parties that have been forced to be suspended due to COVID19.Marín added that "the safety of the people of Yecla must first of all, and at this time it is not possible to guarantee that security.

I would like to finish not closing the door to a possible and reduced act of tribute to our Carnival, although it is still early and we do not know what the situation will be on those dates.

''I encourage all the carnival clubs and the chirigota ACHY to redouble their efforts so that the next edition that we hope can be held in 2022, through the quality and good work of the mimas, serves to consolidate even more if possible the Yecla Carnival promoting it as a benchmark '- José Antonio Marín concluded-.
