Our desire is to continue undertaking this traditional activity in the city of Cartagena next year 2021", assures the Colonel Carlos Frías representing the RAAA nº73.It was precisely Colonel Carlos Frías who transferred this decision to cancel the event to the Deputy Mayor of Cartagena, Noelia Arroyo, in a meeting held this past Tuesday, August 4, at the City Hall."A difficult decision but one that shows the coherence of the decisions that are being made at the moment when carrying out the sports and event calls.

At this time, we must avoid risks to the population," said Noelia Arroyo, who also recalled that "we must continue to protect ourselves and take care of all security measures and social distancing."From the City Council, common sense, coherence and responsibility have been appreciated: "the time will come and circumstances will arise so that the Artillery Cross can develop normally and be a party for all families," concluded the Deputy Mayor.
