The Periferias Festival is a cultural reference in our country, a key event for emptied Spain through which numerous artists have passed. over the last 23 years.

Luis Lles, former director of the festival, has indicated that Periferias has managed to put “on the map of contemporary culture to Huesca“, city in which it is celebrated. An event that will no longer be held after Vox’s request to end it.

The truth is that the party already warned during the campaign that If the PP did not achieve an absolute majority, they were going to set some conditions. “In the face of these red lines, we are going to respond with green lines, one of them is that there will be no Peripheries,” Fermín Civiac, president of Vox in Huesca, warned in May.

A threat that they have ended up carrying out despite the fact that less than two months ago the mayor, from the PP, inaugurated the 2023 edition.

Vox has argued that they have made this decision because they consider that this festival “It only served to shower progressive culturets with thousands of euros.“.

However, the truth is that hundreds of families lived off this festival. “There are people who are dedicated to social networks, others to the web or the sound of the festival,” Luis Lles gave as an example. A cancellation that also affects the restaurants and hotels that host the artists.

In exchange for this cancellation, the Huesca City Council has promised an event for the city’s youth that still has no name or history.
