Ecologists in Action: Macropuerto of Gorguel: over what and who " (15/04/2010)

Ecologists in Action aims to question how far reaching the efforts of the Port Authority of Cartagena, which is chaired by Adrian Angel Viudes, to build a Macropuerto Container Gorguel's Cove, how serious social and environmental damage would result in this age coast of undeniable beauty and wealth

The environmental group asked how far the illogical effort aims to reach the Cartagena Port Authority to undertake this mammoth project despite the undeniable environmental impacts and that this would lead to anything are minimal or correctable despite great socio-economic viability the port authority, chaired by Adrian Angel Viudes, attributed to this project.

Economic viability of this project is not so far no study that proves it, the less available for anyone who is interested, returning to the zero transparency.

Adrian Angel Viudes again delight the public with something that he usually does, baseless statements, lack of documentation on the table and having no other point of view that development is not straightaway, unforgivable for a position public and is the Chairman of the Port Authority of Cartagena.

Never a socio-economic benefit should be above the conservation of natural values of an area, in this case the Gorguel, part of the Natura 2000 network, with a portion classified as SCI submerged marine environment, with the presence of Posidonia Orange Coral Ocean and the Mediterranean, and the Sierra de la Fausilla classified as SCI and SPA, protection at European level.

Blasting, tunneling, transport infrastructure and logistics terminal Macropuerto own at all are harmless to the environment, and which would seriously affect the many species of protected flora in the area, as well as wildlife, peregrine falcon , eagle, owl and trumpeter finch, protected and sensitive birds that inevitably would face losing their habitat.

Ecologists in Action Adrian Angel reminds Viudes the Container Terminal will not or will not do alone "despite environmentalists', as they are numerous groups and neighborhood associations and even political parties of the Union those who oppose this project.

Once again we must remind the Cartagena Port Authority that the environmental laws be enforced, since it is a guarantee to the citizens so that private interests are never above the general interest of society.

In this sense, we should expect the response from the Ministry of Environment and the European Union itself, about the legal viability of the project.

The commitment of the president of the Port Authority of Cartagena to discredit environmental groups is evident, though useless, since these groups only express its rejection of a legitimate and are dedicated to defending and preserving cultural and environmental heritage of the whole society, over private interests.

This group totally rejects the project, which endangers the natural and cultural values and the future regeneration Gorguel Bay Portman, considered a priority project of regional interest Action and a historical debt to these people who would be seriously affected by transformation would be the installation of the container terminal in an area so close to Hudson Bay.
