La Junta de Castilla y León, dominated by the PP, has developed a legal roller for your macro, many of them frozen in the courts, to evade justice. Thanks to a change by the urgent procedure in the regional legislation, the courts may pass into law projects presented by parliamentary groups. Through this scheme should not be necessary technical reports of the Advisory Council of Castilla y León, predictably negative, to approve, for example, a ski macroestación in a natural park and citizens may not use the ordinary courts to stop construction. Only the Constitutional Court, out of reach civil society, can knock down a project into law.
PP regional MPs used their majority in the regional courts to approve this amendment to the Planning Act on 26 March, although the PSOE, the only opposition in the community and environmental organizations are starting to react now. socialist group study presents a constitutional the next three months and local NGOs have reported the situation to the Ombudsman.
Bear Ski Area
socialistAccording to sources, the conservative government of Juan Vicente Herrera has imposed this change to unlock the construction of the ski resort of San Glorio, a project of 100 million euros which aims to create over 50 kilometers of tracks between the provinces of Palencia and León, in a partially protected and brown bear territory. In early 2008, the Tribunal Superior de Justicia de Castilla y León knocked the project. Now, according to sources Socialists, the PP could resubmit the project and signed into law by the majority in Parliament. The Minister of Environment and vice president of the Junta de Castilla y León, María Jesús Ruiz, today refused to comment to this newspaper about the legal device approved two weeks ago.
"On environmental issues, in Castilla y León are no longer on the side of democracy. Citizens, NGOs and companies and have no legal tool to challenge decisions taken by the Board," laments Fernando Jubete, member of the Platform for the Defence of the Cantabrian Mountains. environmentalist believes that "the law is designed to San Glorio" , but fears that "from now on all projects approved in the same way, with the roller. For now, the 5th of April, the PP made in the register of the Parliament a bill to implement the project immediately Ski Plateau, a theme park in a village of 100 inhabitants of Valladolid, Villavieja del Cerro, who has been paralyzed for violating the Forestry Law. Reports
away
"When the Board submits a bill, it must incorporate technical reports of the Advisory Council of Castilla y León [equivalent to the Council of State], but the change in the law that has the PP is trashed these reports, which had left in a shameful position to the proponents, for the content of their projects unacceptable, "said Francisco Ramos, Attorney socialist in Parliament. "It does not rule the government, but the EPP group, to bypass the judiciary . This is killing Montesquieu," the deputy regional critical.
Herrera's government has already changed the law in 2006 for the Board, not the parliamentary groups, as now, might arise from the conversion of urban projects in laws. So in 2007 the call processed Environment City Soria, a project of 500 million euros to build a development of 800 villas and a business park on protected land. The PSOE presented a constitutional challenge, but the Constitutional Court takes on average six years to decide. Work begins this month.
SHAME THAT , as laws change convenience of the government interests it seems to shift better. This project, threatening an endangered species like the brown bear and get so tranquilos.Por they have to take these bears that have lived there hundreds of years and destroy a mountain for skiers who have one more season ( as if they had enough). In my opinion there are few pockets where grizzly bears still survive and people have many ski resorts.
