A Yellow Tide Runs for Freedom in Alicante

Alicante experienced its first freedom race. Organised by the Civil Guard and the NGO Fiet, the sporting event aimed to raise awareness about the fight against human trafficking.

Half a thousand participants joined the race, turning the surroundings of San Juan beach into a sea of yellow.

Various authorities, both from the Civil Guard and civilians, attended the event. Among them were Colonel José Hernández Mosquera, head of the Alicante Command; Lieutenant Paula Matutano from the Technical Unit of the Judicial Police; and the commander of the service, Alberto Iniesta.

Joining them were the Government's Deputy Delegate in Alicante, Juan Antonio Nieves; Alicante City Council's Security Councillor, Julio Calero; and the executive director of the NGO Fiet, Ezequiel Escobar.
