Its existence is threatened by plans to build thousands of houses on its hillsides, increasing the population threefold and changing the character of the village forever.

GREEN EURO MP DENOUNCES PARCENT
TOWN COUNCIL
David Hammerstein, Euro MP for the Spanish Green Party denounced the building plans passed by Parcent Town Council in the European Parliament this week, pointing out that to use the obsolete LRAU law two days before the implementation of the new Valencian land law (LUV) is in breach of various European directives.

'It is scandalous that they have rushed though these projects taking advantage of the holes in a law that currently has a case proceeding of infraction of European directives.' states Hammerstein.
He further criticises the municipal government of Parcent adding
'not only are they laughing at the European Parliament who approved a resolution against the LRAU land law, they are also laughing at the rights of the citizens.'

Tomorrow David Hammerstein and a number of local and provincial politicians will be joining the citizens of Parcent and surrounding areas. We are raising our voices to protect our rights; our right to free speech, our right to demonstrate and protest and our right to live in an unspoilt environment, in a village developed for the interests of the people and not for the pockets of the speculative construction industry. We ask our Town Council to listen to us!
