A flour-covered takeoverSourced
A mock coup comes with flour and eggs
In Ibi, Spain, Els Enfarinats on December 28 involves participants in mock military clothing staging a pretend takeover. Flour and eggs fly, and their festival authority ends in the late afternoon before dancing follows. The event is a tradition, not an actual political coup.
The temporary rulers have an afternoon deadline.
