Seville/Cádiz, (EFE).- The Junta de Andalucía has given a favorable environmental impact report for the construction of a macro-urban project with 300 homes, hotels and a golf course in Trebujena (Cádiz), near Doñana. Subject to the Guadalquivir Hydrographic Confederation ruling that it is viable in terms of water.
The Minister for Sustainability, the Environment and the Blue Economy, Ramón Fernández-Pacheco, explained at the press conference after the Governing Council that the favorable report from the Junta de Andalucía would decline if the competent authority for water in the area, the CHG will rule that it is not viable.
Fernández-Pacheco has indicated that the Guadalquivir Hydrographic Confederation has not responded to the three requests that have been derived to issue its report on the feasibility of water for this macroproject.
Decision in the hands of the CHG
“Environmental authorizations depend on a multitude of sectoral reports that condition the final authorization,” the counselor indicated when addressing the macro-project near Doñana on which he has reported.
With no response from the CHG, the Board had “two options.” Let this process “go on forever”. Or issue a report in which he indicated that in the part that was his responsibility “it is positive”. And that “everything is subject” to the competent administration in water matters “of its approval”, the counselor has detailed.
“If the CHG said that it was unfeasible, it would decline”, he insisted, although he commented that “we are in an electoral period.
“The excitement of the moment leads to lax interpretations by some political leaders.” He has commented on the criticism of this favorable report on a project “at the gates of Doñana”. As defined by the parliamentary spokesman for Adelante Andalucía, José Ignacio García.. EFE
