Vicent Martí is a farmer and activist for Per L’Horta (a platform in defense of the 'green belt' agricultural land in Valencia). In a speech he delivered at the Europa Forum in September 2015, Vicent brought into a hall full of members of the economic and political elites an indignation and weariness about the current socio-political situation in Spain shared by many ordinary citizens suffering the consequences of the politics of austerity and corruption.
Vicent used this rare opportunity to speak from the heart, with great thoughtfulness; his voice and image took the mainstream Spanish media by storm, representing a cry for human dignity and a symbol of authenticity.
