Fourteen environmental organizations will take legal action to clarify possible administrative and criminal responsibilities for access to Teide in an allegedly irregular manner by a ‘youtuber’ with whom the president of the Cabildo of Tenerife, Rosa Dávila, has negotiated the celebration of some awards on the island .
For the ‘youtuber’ David Cánovas Martínez, alias ‘TheGrefg’, to access Teide on November 23, a permit was granted outside the regulations and the cable car was even mobilized when it was closed for safety reasons due to the strong winds, as environmentalists have denounced.
They accuse the insular director of the Environment of the Cabildo of Tenerife, Pedro Millán, of allegedly breaking the rules of the National Park to benefit this ‘youtuber’, who also met with the president of the Cabildo, Rosa Dávila, to negotiate the celebration in the island of the 2025 Esland Awards gala, aimed at streaming content creators.
The representative of the Coordinadora El Rincón–Ecologistas en Acción exposed these alleged irregularities at the meeting of the board of trustees of the Teide National Park on December 20, but, according to these organizations, neither the president of the Cabildo of Tenerife, Rosa Dávila, nor Manuel Durbán , conservative director of the park, nor Pedro Millán, responded.
According to the story of the , on November 25 the ‘influencer’ David Cánovas Martínez, alias ‘TheGrefg’, who creates audiovisual content unrelated to nature conservation, published a video about his ascent to the peak of Teide (https:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxdO4jPZAdQ) in which it transmits the false and dangerous message that it is suitable for everyone, when it is a high mountain route, and explains how they managed to use the cable car to go up despite the fact that it was inoperative due to bad weather.
