All of Spain was stunned by the images in which we saw how the The demonstrators were able to reach the very doors of the Presidential Palace of the Generalitat In Valence. These doors were almost within reach of these demonstrators, as can be seen in the video which illustrates this information, with little police presence for the number of peoplethousands of people demonstrated in Valencia this Saturday and whose destination was precisely this point.
In the video you can see how there is people even leaning on the walls of the Palau of the Generalitata musical group, the banner and those who carry it, the informers and the demonstrators. What the Interior always tried to avoid when the demonstrations affected the PSOE headquarters of Pedro Sánchez in Ferraz and others in other regions of Spain.
In November 2023, for example, the Interior decided to protect itself with 300 police officers this socialist headquarters of Ferraz, as published by OKDIARIO. This police volume in Ferraz was of such magnitude that it exceeded the 200 agents assigned to the Santiago Bernabéu stadium to ensure the security of 100,000 people during a Real Madrid-Barcelona match.
This month of June 2024, as this newspaper also publishes, it was decided to protect until 10 police vans this same socialist headquarters of Ferraz in the demonstrations for the pardon of the Catalan putschists.
But the care with which Interior ensured that the demonstrators They couldn’t get near Ferraz When the street made a big noise in front of the headquarters, assigning as many police officers as it deemed necessary for its protection, this did not happen in Valencia.
The presidential palace of the Generalitat Valenciana is located in the Plaza de Manises. A small space. And on its right side, there is another emblematic building, that of the Provincial Council. Both were closed. And it was not possible to access it. But its gates were almost within arm’s reach of the demonstrators.
A group of police officers, visibly small for an event of this magnitude, was tasked with demarcating a small space in which were crowded the journalists and informants who covered the news, the cameras and microphones, the sound equipment which was used later to read a manifesto, the leader of the demonstration, the demonstrators and even a musical group who performed a song at the end while someone raised their fist.
The image stunned all of Spain and brought to mind what happened when the socialist headquarters was hit. To give another example, in Alicante, the PSOE headquarters was then protected by agents who completely cut off the part of the block in which it was located. That’s to say, from one corner to the other, there was no access. In Valencia, this Saturday, there was no corner where there was no one.
In Valencia, the protest line continued all the way down the street until ending in the crowded Plaza de la Virgen, one of the most visited enclaves of the Valencian Community capital. The lateral limit was that of the side of the facade itself. And the front, extremely close to the Palau.
