The land problems affect every single person in Valencia to some degree and everyone from the Comunidad should have been on the Protest. But that would be the ideal and an impossibility.
-----------
Thanks to everyone who did take part on Saturday and who helped to make it a successful day (and those who tried but failed to get to the Protest due to transport and/or parking problems).
-------------
The AUN and its members wish to send their sincere thanks to the organizers of the autobuses for the Protest in Valencia on Saturday. Janice, Phillipa, Maureen, Clare, Lidia, Carole, Sonia, Dagmar, Jean, Barbara and Mary – our thanks to you all.

TAKING IT TO THE STREETSAbout 2,000 people - 1,000 according to the police - took to the streetsof Valencia yesterday to protest the Valencian Land laws better known as LRAU. Amongst the demonstrators were members of several ecological organizations whose areas are directly affected by the building fever that is gripping the Community. On reaching the Valencian parliament building, a manifesto was read in which a moratorium on all building wasdemanded 'until the Valencian Parliament votes into law new measures that are just, fair and in harmony with all the parties concerned, instead of merely satisfying the construction industry as it currently does'. Speaking as the demonstration broke up, Charles Svoboda, thePresident of the AUN collective stated that in his view the law to replace the current LRAU is tantamount to legalizing fraud. Mr. Svoboda added that next month a special Commission from the European Union would be visiting the Valencian Community to examine the effects of the LRAU.
