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 the coast, travellers can visit the mountain towns of Naquera, Serra and Torres-Torres. The approach is via a narrow valley towards the mountains, passing by the fountain of Barraiz and the peak of El Garbi (601m). Before the ascent, on the skirts of the mountains, is the Carthusian monastery of Portacoeli, preserving religious works by Ribalta and Alonso Cano. The summit of Rebalsadores (789m) is the highest point in these pine-covered hills.

Near the town of Gilet in the Palencia valley is the monastery of Santo Expiritu, a momumental complex built in the 15th century. A local inn can provide visitors with a few days of rest and relaxation among the Fransican monks and provide a home base for hikes in the surrounding mountains.
