 Last weekend the tv national chanels T13 and TVN made a formal petition to the municipality of viña to cancel the festival next summer due to the sanitary emergency that is affecting the world and spcially our country. Although it is expected to see improves of the pandemic for summer i think it is impossible to held a normal festival in 2021. Virginia reginato answered to the petition saying " In August it is time to make proposals and not excuses to suspend it. If the sanitary conditions allow it, we will do everything possible so that the Festival takes place, because summer will be vital to reactivate Viña del Mar". In this case it would be necesary that some sanitary or politic authority denied the permission to held the event, until that happens the festival is coming. What do you think about this? What ideas do you have to held a festival that adapts to the sanitary conditions?
