The International Exhibition opens on the banks of the Ebro river this Saturday.
The Army is sending 750 soldiers to Zaragoza to strengthen the security procedures ahead of the opening of the EXPO 2008.
The group will be on duty from midnight tonight and will protect the international exhibition site on the banks of the Ebro river both by land and air in an operation codenamed ‘Centinela Aragonés’.

Part of the security brief is to protect the ‘critical infrastructures’ in the area, such as the AVE high speed train line, and airspace above the exhibition.

A statement from the Ministry for Defence said the 750 military, from all three armed forces, were a preventative force designed to put off any possible attack.

The expo opens on Saturday and continues until September 14.

No a la Expo Zaragoza 2008
13 Jun 2008, 11:46

I won't recommend anyone coming to Zaragoza, a city which is becoming a even more unhabitable thanks to this Exposition.

This expo has nothing to do with sustainable development; it has everything to do with unscrupulous businesses.

Expo Zaragoza 2008 is unsustainable in terms of ecological, economic, social, environmental, legal and cultural.

Politicians have been lying with a straight face for years, in order to get population's support for this project. However, people is increasingly aware that they've been cheated.

I could go on and on. Please visit http://www.expo-no.es , where there is a lot of information (mostly in Spanish, but there is also some in English).

Please keep to the subject. Opinions published here are of our visitors, not the Typically Spanish team. Comments which go against Spanish laws or which are libellous are not allowed. We reserve the right to delete any comment we wish.

Por favor, céntrate en el tema. Son las opiniones de los internautas, y no las de Typically Spanish. No está permitido verter comentarios contrarios a las leyes españolas o injuriantes. Reservado el derecho a eliminar los comentarios que consideremos fuera de tema.
