The spokeswoman for Sí Podemos Canarias in the Cabildo de Tenerife, María José Belda, expresses her political group’s rejection of “the crazy tourism project with which they once again intend to destroy another coastal area of our island, the Puertito de Adeje, located in an enclave close to the Caleta de Adeje Protected Natural Area, considered a Site of Scientific Interest». Belda affirms that “it is enough that they want to continue with urban development balls to enrich the private pockets of foreign investment companies that benefit from land reclassification, at the cost of destroying one of the last natural redoubts that we still enjoy in the South of the island”.
The island councilor of Sí Podemos Canarias announces that she will present a question in the next Plenary Commission of the Presidency of the Cabildo “to find out what the political position of the government group is regarding this new project, with which they reaffirm their commitment to continue with unsustainable policies and depredation of the territory».
In this sense, Belda denounces the presence of the government team during the presentation of this tourism project, since “it shows the seams of the PSOE, who is in evidence by trying to show himself publicly as an insular government that watches over taking care of the territory, and then poses in the photo with those who are in charge of carrying out environmental attacks that eliminate the landscapes that make us a unique land».
María José Belda supports the protests of the different environmental groups that have spoken out against this project –Salvar La Tejita, ATAN, the Telesforo Bravo-Juan Coello Foundation and the Forum Against Incineration– and joins the call made by ATAN and Salvar La Tejita to call a citizen assembly next Saturday the 1st on the beach of Puertito de Adeje, at 5:30 p.m., “as a sign of the refusal of the population of Tenerife to carry out this work with which they intend to continue depredating until last centimeter of soil in the South.
