The owner insists that “we register the farm before a notary, cadastre, registry and with a report from an agricultural engineer we carry out the plantations, together with avocado growers who are 60 or 70 years old.” He adds that “in January 2021 they told us that the license would take 15 days, but after raising fallen walls and fencing off the farm, in May the Police came to stop the work, until today, which none of the mayors has wanted to answer, while that the Urbanism technician, every time we give him documentation, asks for another one. We no longer know what to do”, regretting that “Airam Puerta says that he does not remember the file”, while the current mayor, Gustavo Pérez, affirms that “Urban Planning is handling this matter”.
They also do not understand that after the first robbery, in October 2021, in which “we caught the two thieves red-handed”, the Civil Guard did nothing. “We have no proof, but it is almost certain that those who stole again for the second and third time are the same ones”, pointing out that “in addition they took 100 meters of Hercules fence, a plow motor and machinery. We are already fed up with Güímar”, sentenced Cavagna.
