Overview
- Stages were shut down Tuesday and about 200 people with roughly 150 vehicles remained overnight, with road AB-408 reopened and police maintaining a special deployment until full normalization.
- Around 300 Guardia Civil officers coordinated a phased exit, kept perimeter roadblocks in place, and conducted alcohol and drug checks while reporting multiple narcotics seizures.
- Recent heavy rain left the terrain muddy and unstable, slowing departures and complicating maneuvers for heavier vehicles.
- Authorities said organizers had been identified; later on Wednesday, El Mundo reported the first arrests in nearby Socovos, including several suspected organizers.
- Early clashes around Dec. 30–31 left several officers injured, drawing criticism from the AUGC over the initial response, and the mayor of Férez awaits access to assess potential damage near a ZEPA-protected area.
