This decision puts an end to the distinction that generated complaints from the commissions, who felt discriminated against by parading with a different cross than the official one. The councilor for Fallas, a municipal spokesperson, highlighted that this measure eliminates the perception of a first and second division procession.
“"There will no longer be a first and second division Procession."
Previously, the honor groups of the Fallas commissions opened the procession, parading in sector order. However, they did so behind a cross that was not the titular one, which caused discomfort as it was considered that the commissions formed a separate, lower-level procession, not worthy of parading under the same canopy as the other groups.
The new organization also implies that the senior Falleras of Valencia and their courts of honor will be located in the authorities' area of the procession. They will parade alongside the feast of Saint Vincent Ferrer, instead of closing the Fallas section outside the official cross, as was the case until now. This integration has been a repeated request to the ecclesiastical authorities, which has finally been accepted.
