The Council's decision is based on the absence of the Safety Plan and the responsible declaration, essential requirements that violate the Law on Classified Activities and Public Spectacles, as well as the Basic Self-Protection Standard. This measure affects approximately 100 minors registered in the morning school competitions.
The City Council has indicated that the MTB-XCO Pino Seco Arguineguín event has been part of the municipal sports calendar since 2022, so the organization should be aware of the necessary administrative and safety requirements. Despite this, the documentation was submitted on Tuesday, May 5, just four days before the event, and was still incomplete. Given this situation, there was no material time to comply with the legally required procedure, which forced the denial of authorization.
“"The decision responds exclusively to safety criteria, with the aim of protecting all participants and the attending public."
The local administration has emphasized that the priority is the safety of participants and the public. Likewise, it has reaffirmed its commitment to safe sports practice and has reminded that current regulations are mandatory for all entities requesting the use of public spaces for sports and cultural activities.
