As for the ninots that represent the critical part, the Central Bonfire highlights some of the episodes experienced in the last year in Xàbia. From the rupture of the Arenal outfall and the loss of the blue flag to the recent municipal elections, going through the controversy of the container without a pedal or the invasion of kayaks in the coves, they have been the main criticisms of this 2023 in La Foguera .
