Passi-ho bé i moltes gràcies. ("Have a good time and many thanks") This was how the protestors gathered in front of weekly newspaper El Vallenc waved off the Civil Guard that had been searching the premises. As the police were leaving in their cars, protestors started clapping and singing a popular song from Catalan band Trinca's 1970 CD Festa Major. Festa Major are annual festivals held by towns or even neighbourhoods.
The song's chorus goes: "Have a good time. Have a good time. Have a good time and thank you very much. Have a good time. Have a good time. Have a good time, see you next year".
The Civil Guard arrived at the weekly paper's offices in Valls, west of Barcelona, this morning, following another search yesterday of a printers in nearby Constantí. At around half past eleven, four agents entered, leaving some three hours later.
