"Marbella is no exception, is the paradigm. Corruption and real estate speculation is a state problem." The problem. That is the opinion of Jaime del Val, 31, a spokesman for the nascent National Citizen Advocacy Coordinator of the Territory, and other promoters of an entity that aims to bring together the fragmented world of partnerships and platforms that are struggling, each in their locality , for the same goal: to stop the "wild" development English town.
To stimulate spokesman project, which defines "radically apolitical" -, 23 representatives of associations or platforms of the community of Madrid, Murcia, Andalusia, Valencia, Aragon and Extremadura met yesterday in Alcalá de Henares. Organizations Catalan, Galician and Asturian are also interested in the project but, with the incipient movement, it is impossible to define the number of entities involved.
"We find it essential to build a platform that can interact with national or European level and to awaken more and more public attention on a problem that is not just environmental; that is political, social, cultural, "says Val. In this spirit movement is born, and with the intention of building a support to local activists, a data collection center and a national advisory body for citizens.
"If on one hand the bulk of planning powers is a local or regional level, there are also responsibilities that go beyond that level," said Antonio Campos, president of the regional coordinator Murcia is not sold, which is one of the promoters of the project. "I mean for example the responsibility for the prosecution, compliance with EU environmental directives for the protection of housing rights, and adequate national legislation on the ground, "said Campillo, who is Professor of Philosophy.
" Having a national voice strengthens us as a partner, "continues Campbell." Our experience here in Murcia is significant since has brought together the fragmented landscape of local partnerships at a regional forum the ability to influence public opinion has increased significantly. It is also essential to communicate with us. Always repeat the same pattern, the same situations of helplessness. Experience is important. "
programmatic priority is now Coordinator contact associations throughout Spain to expand representation, establish operating guidelines and timetable of the first performances. "Maybe we can not afford to spend so much energy on specific issues," says Val. "A hotel is nothing illegal in front of millions of homes are planned. You should go to fat." So good to have a national dimension.
