Following Friday's meeting with Urban Planning Councillor Víctor Serrano, neighborhood representatives said the City Council agrees that the planned plots “are not a suitable location” for this type of facility and that it will legally review the permits to examine their possible revocation. Residents welcome the change in position and remain open to dialogue, but warn that they will not consider the dispute resolved until there is a formal and definitive decision.
The neighborhood also remains dissatisfied with the way the administrative procedure has unfolded. Valdespartera representatives say they have submitted hundreds of complaints since learning that work had begun and consider the errors that allegedly occurred during the process to be serious. They also question the City Council's decision to submit arguments to the judge seeking to lift the precautionary measures affecting one of the projects, and demand that it withdraw those arguments if it genuinely believes the locations are unsuitable.
For this reason, residents will maintain their presence at the next plenary session, where they will seek the unanimous support of the municipal groups to keep the works halted, amend the PGOU to prevent similar situations and approve an institutional declaration backing those affected. Valdespartera says it will continue negotiating with the City Council, but will also pursue institutional action and mobilization until the permits are firmly and irreversibly revoked.
