miguel angel perezregional deputy councilor Fight against climate changeadvances that it is very possible that the Teide Management Master Plan (PRUG) extend its period of public exposure – it ends on July 5 – due to the demand of groups and associations that intend to present allegations to it.
Pérez, faced with the criticism received without the plan being closed yet, clarifies that “private vehicle access to the park will not be prohibited, because it is about island roads and we would have to change for it. The Highway Law and we are not up to date in that scenario. We are going to create three bus shuttle zones from Chio, Vilaflor and El Portillo so that cars can be left in those areas, apart from the fact that inside the park there will be a parking center that is regulated with a control fee, at key times throughout throughout the day.”
About the athletes’ complaintsPérez indicates that “no one is going to prohibit you from run down Teidebecause of the 190 kilometers of trail that Teide has, this practice is only limited to 45 for trail professionals”, making it clear that “national parks are not centers for sports activities, they are conservation centers of high ecological value, and we’ll see if you can do races on the trails, with a maximum of 50 people, but we are clear that you shouldn’t climb the Teide cone, because we think it’s outrageous that you continue to climb the peak.
Regarding the refusal of audiovisual filming, Miguel Ángel Pérez pointed out that “it is an exceptional, unusual activity, but the Canary Islands have an infinity of places to film, in fact this last year we have broken the record for film recordings and none of she has been in a national park. Of course, the one that Ridley Scott wanted, with Moisés, is not going to be allowed in any national park, because raising goats, a chariot race and building a town on the Ucanca plain do not seem to us the most suitable for a natural space that we want to protect.”
