The president of the Xunta, Alfonso Rueda, criticized this Monday what he considers an “orchestrated campaign” against the project that Altri plans to install in Palas de Rei. A project that has received more than 24,000 allegations, the vast majority of which (98.8%) are photocopies of standard forms, one of them accumulating 70% of the total documents presented, as evidenced by the information published this Monday by this newspaper.
Asked about the status of the reports on the environmental impact statement of the project, the head of the Xunta referred to the statements of his Minister of the Environment, Ángeles Vázquez, last week, specifying that there are “some published reports in a positive sense. “, but others continue “under development and evaluation”. “When we have the result, we will know it”, he predicted, and it will always be “the opinion of the technicians”. C This, he stressed, is the “big truth” regarding the treatment of this initiative, as opposed to “everything else, which is largely a lot of noise”.
“We have just learned of the 24,000 allegations that have been presented to the Altri project, approximately 99% are copies of the same allegation,” he explained, referring to the information published this Monday by ABC. He thus underlined that less than 300 are original texts, an argument which does not correspond to the fact that we are talking about “24,000 people” who allege “each with a reason for opposition”. “I don’t wonder if they signed freely, which I’m sure they did, but the fact that this is in response to an orchestrated campaign is very obvious,” said the president, who invited ” everyone” to draw “their own conclusions”. ”
“You will understand that we are talking about an orchestrated action and an action, in many cases, motivated by a series of interests, some legitimate and others clearly driven by political intentions,” he concluded about it.
