This is Roque Peralta, he was 27 years old when he was killed by the Guardia Civil (Spanish military police), on the 12th of July 1977.
Roque lived in Manresa, a city in Central Catalonia, where he was married and had two children. On June 12th, he went to visit his brothers in Súria, a nearby village, during its local festivity (festa major). That year, the organisers of the festivity’s dance had taken the decision that there would be a dress-code for the attenders: men had to wear a cravat and women had to wear an evening dress.
Of course, people were not happy with this decision that took away their freedom of choice and that repressed them from having fun and being comfortable, in a way that’s both sexist and classist at the same time, and which the locals believed to contradict the popular soul of the festivities. For this reason, before the beginning of the dance, a group of about 150 young people came together in the entrance of the dance to protest. The number of protesters grew during the dance, and more policemen were called, who came branding CETME rifles (the assault rifles used by the Spanish army).
One of the witnesses, Pere Subirà, describes what happened next:
When the second part of the dance started, the sargent [of the Guardia Civil] ordered the officers to disperse the rally. Until that moment, we had been joking with the guardian at the door but, when he heard the order, he changed his attitude.
When the policeman had his weapon charged, he saw Roque. He hit him with the rifle while cornering him against the wall of a house. Roque had a disabled arm and, with the other arm, he was trying to move the policeman away from him. When the boy was against the wall, the policeman shot. (Source)
According to the official version released by the police, Roque had tried to take the policeman’s weapon, but this was denied by all the witnesses and seems to be a lie used to justify killing him. The policeman later proved to have been lying about this because he continued to distance himself from the act through contradicting statements, even saying that he wasn’t there that night (when all the Guardia Civil’s documents prove he was).
Even though Roque’s family sued the policeman, there was never a trial. The only consequence for the policeman Francisco Ruiz for having killed him was that he was moved to serve in another town. It was not the first time that he had been moved because of an “incident”.
The next day, all of Súria was on strike (only bakeries were open to sell bread). There was a demonstration, where people carried a Catalan flag with a black crepe and a banner that read “Guardia Civil murderer” (“Guardia Civil assassina”). The next day, between 2,500 and 5,000 people attended Roque’s funeral.
Roque was one of the many victims of violence from the police or fascist groups during the “Transition to democracy” that Spanish politicians always say was “bloodless” and “exemplary”.

International Rock Day
Where would we be without rocks? Go on a rock hunt and see how many different kinds you can find, including some surprisingly beautiful and rare ones.
The Rock or stone is a naturally occurring solid aggregate of one or more minerals or mineraloids. For example, the common rock granite is a combination of the quartz, feldspar and biotite minerals. The Earth’s outer solid layer, the lithosphere, is made of rock. Rocks have been used by mankind throughout history. From the Stone Age, rocks have been used for tools. The minerals and metals found in rocks have been essential to human civilization.
Learn about International Rock Day
International Rock Day has been created so that people all around the world can learn more about rocks. It’s not about rock and roll music; it’s all about the stone variety! After all, rocks play a big role in the environment, and they have been used by humans for many purposes over the years.
Three major groups of rocks are defined: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. The scientific study of rocks is called petrology, which is an essential component of geology. At a granular level, rocks are composed of grains of minerals, which, in turn, are homogeneous solids formed from a chemical compound that is arranged in an orderly manner.
The aggregate minerals forming the rock are held together by chemical bonds. The types and abundance of minerals in a rock are determined by the manner in which the rock was formed. Many rocks contain silica (SiO2); a compound of silicon and oxygen that forms 74.3% of the Earth’s crust. This material forms crystals with other compounds in the rock. The proportion of silica in rocks and minerals is a major factor in determining their name and properties.
History of International Rock Day
International Rock Day is a day for celebrating this substance, which has been critical to the survival of mankind. Throughout history, rocks have been used. Since the Stone Age, rocks have been important for use as weapons and tools. The metals and minerals that have been found in rocks are critical to human civilization.
Rocks are geologically classified according to characteristics such as mineral and chemical composition, permeability, the texture of the constituent particles, and particle size. These physical properties are the end result of the processes that formed the rocks. Over the course of time, rocks can transform from one type into another, as described by the geological model called the rock cycle.
These events produce three general classes of rock: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. The three classes of rocks are subdivided into many groups. However, there are no hard and fast boundaries between allied rocks. By increase or decrease in the proportions of their constituent minerals they pass by every gradation into one another, the distinctive structures also of one kind of rock may often be traced gradually merging into those of another.
Hence the definitions adopted in establishing rock nomenclature merely correspond to more or less arbitrary selected points in a continuously graduated series.
How to celebrate International Rock Day
There are a number of different ways that you can celebrate International Rock Day. One of the options is to do a bit of research on the different types of rocks that are available across the globe, as well as the different uses for these rocks. You can share this knowledge with your friends and family. Why not go on a rock hunt together? You can collect different types of rocks and learn about them. It is always fun to spend your time doing something different with the ones that you love.
Another way to celebrate International Rock Day is to enjoy an art project involving rocks. The best rocks for painting are those that can fit into the palm of your hand. The best surfaces for images and designs are rocks that have a flat surface and are nice and smooth.
You should also wash the surface of the rock and get rid of all of the dirt before you begin to paint. You will also find that acrylic paint works the best. You can use a variety of different types of brushes, depending on the sort of techniques that you want to attempt. When you are finished, seal the design. You can experiment with new colors and effects, creating different themes of rocks and exciting designs.
You can also spend some time learning about rocks on International Rock Day. After all, there is so much information about their formation uses, and much more. We will end this post with some fascinating facts to help you get started…
Some minerals and rocks appear so unusual that legends and myths have sprung up about them. For example, it was believed that snakestones were the remains of coiled snakes that had turned into stones.
Artists have used the colors inside some minerals and rocks for many years. For instance, cinnabar, which is the powder of a mineral rock, was used for art in the Middle Ages because of its brilliant red color.
Meteorites are pieces of metal or rock that hit the earth. Some have broken off to create asteroids, which are big rock chunks that orbit the sun in between Jupiter and Mars. If a big meteorite hits the Earth, it can result in a crater, which can change the surroundings of where it lands.

Nacido en el ‘75 pero con alma adolescente. Melómano hasta morir, con pinceladas audiófilas. Amante de toda la música, y nostálgico con el formato vinilo. También me gusta dar vueltas por internet, ver una buena peli, y colecciono pequeños cabezones (Funko), que son mis niños.
A través de este espacio, pretento conectar con personas que compartan los mismos gustos y aficiones.
