Valencia comes out to protest against the cuts, and Francisco Camps

 

Marches were held in the three provincial capitals in the Valencia region on Thursday night, called to demonstrate against the cuts from the regional administration, but attracting many calls against Francisco Camps, the ex President of the region who was found not guilty in the Gürtel suits case on Wednesday night. A popular chant was ‘Eo, Eo , Eo, Camps al talego’, ‘Guilty, Guilty’ and ‘How much did the jury cost?’. The march in Valencia passed by the door of Francisco Camps’ home. The protests were called by the five unions, CCOO, CSIF, FSES, Intersindical and UGT, and all the protests ended at the headquarters and sub headquarters of the Valencia Government. The Valencia march, of some 100,000 people according to the unions, caused long delays to traffic in the evening rush hour and restricted access was seen to the V35, A3, V21 and V31. Organisers of the Alicante march say more than 60,000 took part, although local police said it was closer to 40,000. Another 30,000 took part in Castellón, according to the unions. There have been no reported incidents.
