At 9 a.m., the men gather in the church square and make the same demand every year: they want a "New Justice. "
During this 200-year-old traditional festival, participants are known as Els Enfarinats (those covered in flour) dress in military clothes and stage a mock coup d'etat as they battle using flour, eggs and firecrackers outside the city town hall. People dressed in mock military garb take part in the "Els Enfarinats" battle in the southeastern Spanish town of Ibi. The participants' faces are colorfully painted.
