SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, Aug. 11 (EUROPE PRESS) –
Activists from ‘Salvar La Tejita’ have woken up this Thursday in the area of El Puertito, in Adeje (Tenerife), protesting to try to stop the works in the area to build an urbanization, while reproaching the president of the Canary Islands, Ángel Víctor Torres, as well as that of the Cabildo de Tenerife, Pedro Martín, and the mayor of Adeje, José Miguel Rodríguez Fraga, his “accomplice silence”.
From ‘Salvar La Tejita’ it has been assured, in a press release, that they are going to “hold out” in the area “peacefully and as a sign of protest” for as long as it takes because they point out that “a crime against heritage, culture, archaeological heritage and marine biodiversity” of the island.
“We understand that it is a unique and economic model that always puts exploiting our territory first (…) We are against a market that forces us to sell our land, they are the last virgin coasts of Adeje, here there are endemic, protected species that the company is knowingly destroying. We are against the macro-projects that are destroying the island,” he pointed out.
