The presentation ceremony, led by Alex Mercurio and Ceci Wallace, took place yesterday in the Hermano Ramón square. The mayor, Luis Yeray Gutiérrez, and the Councilor for Equality and LGBTI, Idaira Afonso, accompanied by mayors from the Corporation and representatives of the LGBTI Municipal Council, were in charge of announcing the details of this edition, which will start this Friday and will end the 15th of July.

Like every June 28, La Laguna celebrates again “a date that represents the struggle of a community that only wants respect and freedom. We are an open, plural municipality, which advances as an example in the visibility and defense of the rights of all, all and all”, said the mayor, to later thank the Department and the groups and people involved for their work during “all these years of vindication, especially during the hardest moments of the pandemic.”

As “even today we can hear messages of involution”, Luis Yeray Gutiérrez stressed that “we must continue to defend the message of Pride, saying no to LGBTIphobia and hate attacks”. To do this, he pointed out that four weeks of events have been prepared for a “very special” edition and encouraged all citizens “to enjoy and participate” in it.

Idaira Afonso expressed herself in similar terms, who thanked the associations of the Council for the work they carry out not only for this date, but throughout the year. In this sense, he recalled that from the City Council, “in a transversal way between the different areas”, continuous work is carried out aimed at “education, visibility and awareness”, which translates “into multiple activities” and that have their “exponential maximum in Pride”. “It is not a party, but it is a celebration to make visible the pride that the different ways of living, expressing themselves and feeling represent for people,” she emphasized.
