Cartagena Port Authority continues in its desire to punish this group of peaceful symbolic action and performed at the gates of the headquarters of the organization last August in support of environmental and cultural values affected by the proposed facility a container terminal in El Gorguel.
The healing process to 8 members of Ecologists in Action by the symbolic action at the headquarters of the Port Authority of Cartagena is in the process.
Since the partnership have presented arguments to the proposed penalty, which is considered disproportionate and beyond any logical justification.
Ecologists in Action only made use of their right and duty to defend the environment, enshrined in Article 45 of the Spanish Constitution, so it is beyond any level justified economically punish the free right to defend the public interest on private.
The association lamented the paradox of the speed and commitment of some governments to punish those who defend the environment with symbolic actions, while not put the same effort to go after companies that violate environmental laws, and protracted deadlines for the resolution of disciplinary proceedings to them, even in cases of serious environmental damage.
Environmental association for the proposed sanction by the Port Authority of Cartagena is also paradoxical, because if your project macropuerto in El Gorguel be carried out, there would be "irreversible and non-reparable damage" in the environment.
Ecologists in Action reminds the President of the Port Authority of Cartagena, D.
Adrian Angel Viudes, that emerged from the coastal area is part of the Natura 2000 network.
The Sierra de la Fausilla is classified as Special Protection Area (SPA) and Site of Community Importance (SCI), and would be badly damaged by the logistics of the terminal to be installed on this stretch of mountains.
On the other hand, damage to the marine environment would be evident.
In this area there Posidonia oceanica, endemic to the Mediterranean, classified as habitats of Community interest and is in very good condition and the presence of Orange Coral Mediterranean.
All this together cuilturales and socio-economic damage in the area, and the incompatibility of this project with the regeneration project Portman Bay.
Therefore, Ecologists in Action urges D.
Adrian Angel Viudes to cease once and for all its efforts to carry out the project of The Container Macropuerto Gorguel, and to end its campaign of marketing "green" social ", which only seeks to convince the public of the great benefits of the project, but still does not show or recognize the serious and irreversible environmental damage, cultural and socioeconomic produce the same.
It is clear that the impacts are very negative for this area, and this causes the public and explicit rejection of the residents concerned and various social groups in the area, as well as various social and environmental organizations throughout the Region of Murcia.
