STOP THE VIOLENCE IN VALENCIA: POLICE VIOLENCE AGAINST CHILDREN ON THE STREETS OF VALENCIA

High school students recently took part in a peaceful protest in Valencia City to protest against their schools not being paid for electricity or heating. They were taught by their teachers how to protest peacefully. The police turned out in riot gear and treated the kids and parents like criminals. This is now daily life for many students and parents here in Valencia and there has been no media coverage of these attrocities. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS REGIME - MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD.

CHIEF OF POLICE ANTONIO MORENO, WHEN ASKED WHETHER HE CONSIDERED THE POLICE RESPONSE "DISPROPORTIONATE" SAID SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES OF "YOU DON'T GIVE NUMBERS TO YOUR ENEMY".

MR MORENO, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU:
ARE CHILDREN YOUR ENEMY? ARE THE PEOPLE OF VALENCIA YOUR ENEMY? IS THIS BUSINESS (WHICH PAYS MORE THAN YOUR ANNUAL WAGES) YOUR ENEMY?

WE CALL FOR THE RESIGNATION OF ANTONIO MORENO, HE'S EVIDENTLY OVERSTRESSED, SLIGHTLY MAD AND CURRENTLY CONTROLLING A DANGEROUS AND VIOLENT FORCE ON THE STREETS OF VALENCIA AGAINST CHILDREN, PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS.

From 13 to 15 April the Arenas beach will play host a typical Easter event that is the International Kite Flying Festival “Ciudad de Valencia”. The event, which celebrates its tenth anniversary this year, will take place on the Paseo Marítimo.

Trials for the Spanish acrobatic kite championship, four-stringed Cachirulos, static parades, children's workshops for constructing a Milotxa, wind gardens, multiple flights or in pairs and giant kite exhibitions are just some of the activities that will be carried out during the festival.

During the three days, the area stretching from the Arenas Spa to the Fuente de la Barca will be filled with creative and multicoloured kites handled by specialists coming from France, Great Britain, Germany, Switzerland, New Zealand, Andorra and Italy.
