Adrian Angel Viudes: the container Macropuerto Cala de El Gorguel, with enormous environmental impacts, socio-cultural landscape.
Cartagena Port Authority, chaired by
Adrian Angel Viudes, continues in its efforts to criminalize the environmental movement and endeavor to punish with an amount of EUR 8,000 to members of Ecologists in Action last August staged a protest action peaceful and symbolic to the doors of the Port Authority Cartagena to reject the megalomaniacal, destructive and unworkable project of installing a Container Macropuerto the protected area of El Gorguel.
The imposition of this amount, plus unusual, it is disproportionate for a symbolic action.
The action, which consisted of a temporary and symbolic blocking access through the front door, with the placement of several protest banners and a black flag, did not prevent the normal development of the business of that body, or users prevented workers from entering and leave the building, as this has another side access door, which entered and left the workers and users during the short time it was taking action.
Furthermore, it aims to accuse the association of some supposed "damage" caused in the building, which are not specified at any time.
In any case, the association denies that any damage occurred on the premises of the Port Authority of Cartagena by the members who participated in the protest.

The environmental organization considered shameful to use a position of power to punish those who claim to defend the public over the private businesses that do nothing but robbing the environment, jeopardizing the future of a region for the benefit of a few to the detriment of the interest general.
This draft Macropuerto in Cala de El Gorguel, adds to the predator model years prevailing in the Region of Murcia, promoted by the Regional Administration and supported by most public authorities.
This model has not done more to undermine our natural resources, and ended up in many places with the possibility of sustainable development models, advocating unsustainable development and resource predator even in protected areas.
This is the case of the Sierra de la Fausilla which is listed as SCI and SPA, European environmental protection.
The environmental organization, to the efforts of the Port Authority of Cartagena, re-emphasized that this project does not have any economic justification much less environment, since the completion of the same lead to serious environmental degradation in the area, which has with numerous environmental values and a rich diversity of species, while making a scourge more for the future sustainable development of the bay and the village of Portman, with whose regeneration clashes.
