Salvem Parcent, Save Parcent

Parcent is a small village in the Valencian region of Spain. 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. This blog aims to tell the world about whats happening to our village and ask people to join us in our fight to protect Parcent.

JOIN THE DEMONSTRATION IN
PARCENT MARCH 11th

Veïns de Parcent have organised a demonstration to protest against the 3 PAIs approved by the Town Hall on 30th January 2006 and the threat faced by all local communities in the face of rampant urbanisation. We will be meeting at the entrance to the village at 4.30 Saturday 11th March, where a march will take place through the village ending in a meeting in the 'plaza' where our manifesto will be read out.

The demonstation will be attended by people from Parcent and all surrounding villages, local politicians, ecological groups, residents groups, and the Euro Mp for the Green Party, David Hammerstein. National television, radio, local and national press, both Spanish and English are expected to cover the event.

We invite all those able to attend to join us and protest against the outrageous plans to destroy our mountain and our way of life. We call for an end to intensive urbanisation and the development of plans allowing for more sustainable and environmentally friendly urban growth.
