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.

SUPPORTING DEMONSTRATION
IN VALENCIA 1st APRIL 2006











Whilst we were busy in Murcia, other members
of Veïns de Parcent were in Valencia actively
supporting other collectives at a demonstration
organised by 'Compromis per territori' against
the high tension electricity cables proposed by
Iberdrola and the Valencian Government. These
cables will pass over many Valencian communities
with consequent fears for health as part of
a network planned to stretch from France
to Morroco. As one reason for the necessity for
such increase in availability of power is the
proliferation of PAIs planned in Valencia we
felt motivated to support the campaign against
the cables, a campaign backed by numerous
affected municipalities and by judicial sentences
such as that of the 'Juzgado Contencioso-
Administrativo No. 5 of Valencia.
