L’Alfàs del Pi has become, for several decades now, the perfect example of what, on a large scale, has been the fundamental basis on which the European Union was created and enlarged: the full integration and coexistence of citizens Of almost thirty countries. Therefore, the celebration of the Day of Europe, which will take place, as every year, on May 9, will become the town of Alfasino in a «vindication of our local reality, in which, as everyone knows , People of more than one hundred different people live together and in which the residents who have arrived in l’Alfàs del Pi from other countries account for more than half of the population «as explained by the mayor of residents of other nationalities, Martine Mertens.

The celebration of the Day of Europe, which will take place on 9 May – in memory of the Schumann Declaration, considered the embryo of what is now the European Union and which emanates from a speech by the French foreign minister pronounced that day Of the year 1950 – in the House of Culture of l’Alfàs del Pi, «will consist of the reading of a manifesto that will be followed by the musical performance of a string trio of the Conservatory of Altea», explained Mertens who added that » All the attendees will share a wine of honor «. This event, which will start at 1:00 p.m., invites all the citizens of l’Alfàs del Pi.
