If the report of the CARM sees high risk for forest and environmental acantalidados following a hypothetical construction Macropuerto Gorguel, the question is clear? Barnabas and Barreiro mayors are willing to support this project bypassing all environmental regulations?
With these environmental conditions, the viability of the project exceeds the economic interest which we feel is questionable.
Local administrations of both municipalities should stop beating around the bush, although the infrastructure supporting the extraction of aggregates quarries whose mountains are necessary would be expanded and others where would open, and the rocky areas such as Los Porpuz (Cartagena) and Cabeza de la Galera and Cola del Caballo (The Union).
Both areas are proposed as "flora microreserves Region" yes or no.
A responsible leader can not be thrown a decade raising expectations on a project that will not have European funding to perform but these serious environmental concerns are being saved insurmountable obstacles since the construction of macropuerto implies irreparable damage to the natural environment that surrounds it.
The report makes clear the opinion of specialists, who also warned of the impact of new "land transport infrastructure" (a road and railroad tracks that would cross the Sierra de la Fausilla tunnels) in the area where they would not go underground : the environment of the Cerro de La Albolaga.
They also advise evaluate the current access to the beach because you have to modify the path.
Regarding the cliffs, according to the Community measures envisaged by the port to prevent landslides can damage the whole seafront.
Another objection is that conditions have not been evaluated as dredging in coastal areas to obtain fill material for dikes, as well as the creation of zones of anchorage for ships.
So from SPCT demand clarity and decision making, as the economic and social situation of our town we are neither for viable investments, and to keep expectations in a hit by unemployment citizenship, which will generate definitely frustration medium term.
SPCT stance is very clear, ask yourself if the macropuerto Gorguel complies with all environmental regulations, such as the location is impossible, we believe the most honest and responsible is to withdraw the draft macropuerto Gorguel.
