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.
Prsumably Mr Moreno expects to be coordinating the police at music and youth festivals around Spain during 2012 !??????

Welcome to the new look BenicassimFestival.com website!
We've only just gone live with the new version of the old site which has been kicking around for a year or so. The new site brings some of the latest web tech to the world of festivals - including some massive social networking to bring you and your mates closer together before, during and after the festival.
Not only that but we're bringing together a mashup of images, audio and video from various official band and fan sites so that you can find out all about who's playing - as well as hopefully see your favourite bands in a whole new light!
It's going to take us a while to get all the content from the old site onto the new site and also to complete all the mashups and networking bits and pieces. So please be patient with us - keep coming back and tell your friends.
There's nothing stopping you from registering on the site already (you'll get your own space to post your profile and images etc. and you'll be able to join in with the fun over the coming weeks as the big event approaches).
So please support us by joining up and joining in - and, as usual, don't forget to check out our advertisers (we're trying to keep all the advertising relevant and useful).
And most of all - have fun!
