In one of these "raves", which has begun to be evicted in recent hours on the shores of the Almendra reservoir, where the disappeared Zamorano town of Argusino was located, a 32-year-old Swiss woman died last Monday afternoon without her boyfriend, the rest of the participants or, ultimately, the emergency personnel (Sacyl) could save her life. The body of the victim, who suffered from previous heart disease, showed no apparent signs of violence, although when the medical personnel arrived at the remote place it was already too late. Joaquín, Sara and Carlos (fictitious names) are assiduous users of this type of parties that they are usually held in enclaves that are difficult to access and far from population centers, and that are not communicated to the authoritiesbut are spread through social networks, where the organizers detail the development plan of the event and facilitate the secret location, as explained in an interview with Efe. The cabusive drug use, heat or other inclement weatherlike the one that also unleashed the tragedy at the Medusa Festival in Cullera (Valencia), are a factor of added risk that can endanger the health and even the life of the attendees, a scenario to which is added the absence of an emergency protocol or health personnel, among other security measures. WHO ORGANIZES THEM? One of the last massive "raves" held in Spain before the one that took place in the province of Zamora, lasted in an abandoned quarry in the Tabernas desert of Almeria for four days, from New Year's Eve until January 4, when the Civil Guard, after 96 hours of surveillance, was able to evict her. Raúl Aguilera, spokesman for the Benemérita Command of Almería, in statements to Efe, stresses that in This type of illegal gathering prioritizes the “safety” of agents and assistants. The latter may be under the influence of narcotic substances, which is a serious danger if they are evicted by road. Another of the priorities of the security forces is to identify the organizers, in the plural, who are behind the preparation of events that at the level of infrastructure - multiple stages, powerful sound equipment and bars with food and drink sales - well they could be authorized festivals. The decisive difference, according to this civil guard, is the “absolute absence” of security, emergency or risk prevention protocolsleaving in the hands of improvisation the attention of any type of incident that may occur, such as the one that cost the life of the participant in the "rave" of Argusino. When the loudspeakers are turned off and the stages are dismantled, the search for the clandestine organizers begins, an investigation work "like that of drug trafficking", which is carried out by the Information and Judicial Police agents. Violators face fines of up to €600,000. WHEN IT "GETS OUT OF HAND" Sara is a fan of electronic music and the rave scene, where she says there are "much fewer" problems than in a commercial music club in the center of any city. “There is a very good vibe,” she remarks. But at these parties, which are attended by "all kinds of people" of different nationalities, drug use, which can be purchased on the spot, and the concentration of attendees can make someone "get out of hand " Y become a threat for the rest of the people. When this happens, Sara reports that it is usual to expel directly "and by force" whoever is causing problems. Notifying the police or the emergency services would mean bursting the “rave”. A WHOLE BUSINESS In the last illegal parties that Joaquín, Sara and Carlos have attended, there were points of sale for alcohol and food, even made on the spot in vehicles or private stalls. "They prepare everything from paella to meat with tomato," says Sara. They are, as they explain, people or groups that “make a living” visiting the places where massive “raves” are heldwhich they finance through the contribution of sound equipment or the sale of food and drink. The other side of the business of these parties is that of drug trafficking. The most common are psychedelics (LSD), stimulants (speed or amphetamine) and depressants (alcohol), in addition to one of the queen substances in these environments, ketamine, says the specialist in psychoactive substances Antón Gómez-Escolar. As in the authorized festivals, many vendors go to the "raves" to make a killing: long days of compulsive bidding without any kind of police threat.
