"Favors" Iberdrola Extremadura government

Last weekend, the English prime minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero announced he would undertake to Extremadura in the town of Alange his last election victory. The town of Alange was chosen because their ancestors were from there. But Alange and around the government of Extremadura, also of the PSOE, as president, promotes the construction of several power plants and a petrochemical refinery. For the appointment had been called a concentration of civic associations that are fighting for their land and that these projects of great environmental, economic and cultural development is not carried out. But the president misconstrued the plan and did not attend the appointment in the municipality of Alang in which hundreds of protesters waiting for him. If you chose to enjoy the tasty tubers Extremadura is enjoyed on a private estate.

not know what opinarían Zapatero's ancestors on the construction of a thermal power of Iberdrola in the municipality of Alang and a few more in those around him, although it is difficult to imagine. Since we assume that neither would strongly agree that the government of Extremadura is making efforts to promote private interests, those of Iberdrola in this case, at the expense of health, culture and environmental quality of Extremadura in the region.

Just last May 20 the High Court of Justice of Extremadura (TSJE) informed the Civic Platform Thermal Case No administrative action which is a Thermal faced not with the Board of Extremadura and Iberdrola.
This Platform citizen filed a complaint against the decision of the Minister of Agriculture and Environment of the Junta de Extremadura, José Luis Quintana Álvarez. He had resolved to remedy of appeal against the decision made Iberdrola's Director General for Environment, Guillermo Crespo, "through which it dismissed the Combined Cycle Power Plant in Alange to be an industrial activity industrial activity classified as unhealthy and harmful, the ability to harm human health or damage to the agricultural wealth, forestry, livestock or fisheries, resulting from the emission of pollutants into the air and water, and sited at a distance not exceeding 2,000 meters to count the population center nearest clustered, as provided in Article 4 of Regulation inconvenient, unhealthy, harmful and dangerous "feature from this partnership.

Quintana Alvarez accepted pathway An appeal to relocate the plant Iberdrola more than 2,000 feet away without listening Alange citizens who wanted to make allegations. "This measure was generated defenseless Thermal Platform to dispense No public inquiry despite the change in the location of the temperature. The Chief Executive to resolve the administrative appeal on behalf of Iberdrola violated the law and the right audience of those concerned citizens in general ", argue the neighbors.
The TSJE understood that varying the location of the project had planned from the beginning, when Iberdrola presented his initiative, as this will cause an environmental impact. The Court annulled its ruling, the decision of Minister of Agriculture and Environment Board Extremadura by admitting the relocation of the power plant Iberdrola.
