A visitor to the Fira d'abril at the Fòrum in Barcelona says an officer stopped him from filming the Vox booth, where Caribbean music was playing, and warned him of a complaint. The episode mixes the party's traditions banner with the music playing and the control over filming at the venue.
The scene took place at the **Fira d'abril** held at the **Fòrum** grounds in Barcelona. A visitor walked past the **Vox** booth and was struck that Caribbean music, specifically Venezuelan, was playing in a space the party presents under the banner of traditions. According to his account, a man who identified himself as a police officer approached him and warned that he could not film and that, if he posted it on social media, he would file a complaint against him.
## The traditions banner and the music that was playing
The contrast is the heart of the matter. The booth is associated with the message of defending Spanish traditions, yet what came out of the speakers was Caribbean music. There is no official confirmation of who was DJing or why that repertoire was playing. The verifiable fact is the visitor's account: Venezuelan music at the Vox booth inside the Fira d'abril at the Fòrum.
## An officer and the warning of a complaint over filming
The second element is the control over filming. A man identified himself as a police officer and warned that filming was prohibited and that posting it on social media would lead to a complaint. The man's status as an officer and the actual scope of that prohibition have not been verified by any official source. Filming in a public space is generally permitted, with exceptions depending on regulations and the venue.
## What can be stated and what cannot
What is solid is the visitor's account and the contrast between the booth's slogan and the music. What is unproven is the man's status as a police officer and whether there is an effective ban on filming. Any complaint announced is, for now, a verbal warning. The episode should be treated as a testimony, not a settled fact, and a legal professional should be consulted if publishing the material is being considered.
