UMBRELLAS UP ON ANOTHER RAINY NIGHT

200 people join Veïns de Parcent
to remember the night of30.1.2006 when
Parcent Town Hall voted to provisionally
approve the three PAI.

















Fortunately the weather was not quite so
ferocious as a year ago but the umbrellas
remained up as a symbolic protest at how
we were shut out of the Town Hall in torrential
rain on the night of 30.1.2006

The demonstration was attended by over 200
people, a great turnout for a cold wet night.
We once again walked the streets of Parcent, this
time stopping to read out the notice of what the
Town Hall have failed to inform it's citizens.
Namely the judgements of the Sindic de Greuges,
recommending the suspension of the processing
of all three PAI due to the lack of a favourable
water report from the competent water authority
and the two autos from the TSJCV, Doctine of Parcent
suspending the PAI 'El Repla'.
We then returned to the plaza to find the tomb
of Parcent surrounded by candles and vultures and
after laying the flag of SALVEM PARCENT, the date
of death was revealed to be ?????? and the vultures
kicked away. We afirm there is life yet in our village,
our fight is gaining momentum and there is hope
that we may yet save our village from the threat
of massive urbanisation.

The evening ended with our stoical and faithful
supporters braving the cold to listen to the tape
of our petition hearing in Brussels. All were very
interested to hear the intervention of the Mayoress
of Parcent and the clear response from the Euro
MPs present in the Committee. A very different
story from the one painted by the Mayoress in
the press on her return from Brussels!!!
