On 23 June, Plaça Catalunya in Manresa will host a St John's Eve celebration that will include a halal barbecue. The idea is that participants bring their own meat and cook it there. To avoid contamination with the food of non-believers, the organisers have provided a grill where only halal meat will be cooked..

The Saint John's Eve bonfire is one of the most deeply rooted celebrations in the Catalan folk calendar. It's the fire, the coca, the revelry, the cava, the firecrackers, the freedom of the street and the shared space without labels, and everyone having supper together in the street. The appearance of a “halal ember” in this context is no small detail: It is a symbol of a cultural transformation that is not always debated with clarity or honesty.

A €130,000 grant to the organisation that organises it.

The debate intensifies when a user of the X network has revealed that The organising residents' association would have received a public grant of €130,000. of the town council (governed by Esquerra Republicana (ERC)). If this figure is confirmed, the issue is no longer just cultural but also political. to justify the use of public funds to finance activities that incorporate religious criteria.

The result: a bonfire with Arabic music, without cava and without fire.

The result has been that Only Muslims have been to the bonfire on Plaça Catalunya. Arabic music has been played, and there has been neither a cellar nor a bonfire.

Various users on social networks and some neighbours have explained how the party really went. It wasn't a celebration open to everyone. Only Muslim families attended. There was no neighbourhood atmosphere, no mix of ages or backgrounds. The atmosphere was that of a private community gathering. Nothing to do with the popular spirit of Sant Joan. No coke, no cava, no music for everyone.
