The controversy of the influencer ‘TheGrefg’

In a statement released last Wednesday, the organizations Salvar la Tejita, Ben Magec Ecologistas en Acción, Red ASIREM, Association for the Conservation of Canarian Biodiversity-ACBC, Fundación Canarina, Plataforma Los Silos-Isla Baja, Agentes del Cambio, Ecologist Coordinator El Rincón-Ecologistas en Acción, Telesforo Bravo and Juan Coello Foundation, Assembly in Defense of Our Earth-ADNT and Tenerife Association of Friends of Nature-ATAN point out that the explanation put forward by the Council “creates doubts” since ‘TheGrefg’ said in his videos published on social networks that he had climbed the peak without having the relevant authorization.
For this reason, they ask the Cabildo to send the authorization, if it exists, to the members of the board of trustees of the Teide National Park and the “formal communication” that should have been addressed to the management of the National Park informing about this activity and the extraordinary use of the cable car.
The groups also wonder “what activity related to the management of the National Park” was Pedro Millán carrying out that day and do not understand that the Cabildo justifies it with a possible ‘insular interest’, an exceptional route that requires a specific procedure and that only It is applied for certain purposes.
Furthermore, if it has been repeated on previous occasions, as the Cabildo points out, they ask the corporation to clarify “what other occasions those have been, the dates on which they occurred and the declarations of insular interest issued on each of them.”
Along these lines, they also point out, in the statement collected by Europa Press, that the Board of Trustees of the Teide National Park is the body for public participation and that ensures compliance with the regulations, so, “if these reports exist, they must send them to all members of the Board of Trustees and make them public, to eliminate any kind of doubt”.
Without authorization, according to environmentalists
The groups also ask for reports that guarantee the safety of using the cable car on a day in which it could be affected by the wind and do not understand that the Cabildo ignores the content of the ‘TheGrefg’ videos if they were part of an advertising publication . “This is impossible to sustain, since a high-ranking member of the Cabildo, Mr. Pedro Millán, appears in the video,” they point out.
However, they maintain that There was no authorization to climb Mount Teide and they regret the lack of transparency of the Cabildo, which decided to “stay silent” in the face of all the questions posed by the environmental spokesperson at the meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Teide National Park held on December 20.
For this reason, they have already carried out all the necessary procedures to formally request the information that the Cabildo refers to in its statement.
