Ecologists in Action sought dismissal of Adrian Angel Viudes (19/01/2010)

With a series of arguments that, as this organization reaffirm their incompetence to hold that office.

The President of the Port Authority of Cartagena and was with the expansion of its tailings Valley effort to carry forward projects that produce severe environmental damage.

In 1996, Adrian Angel Viudes raises the union of the island of tailings with the tip boom and the construction of a dam parallel.

The dam was planned to build a large pier for what is needed five million cubic meters of fill.

To reduce the costs of such an enormous amount of padding, Viudes raised using contaminated mining waste accumulated in the bay of Portman, ligand and something not feasible: the expansion of the tailings with Dock Regeneration Portman Bay.

The Port Authority of Cartagena requested at that time, financing the European Investment Bank (EIB).

He denied that funding for their environmental impact and no social interest as the sole beneficiary was the majority owner: Portman Golf.

This attempt to unite two incompatible projects Portman left the town without the opportunity to see reclaimed its Bay.

His current project, the Container Terminal in Gorguel, greater environmental impact than the expansion of the tailings Dock, is again completely incompatible with the regeneration of Portman Bay, so most likely the European Investment Bank denied any funding, as it did in 1997 with a project deemed environmentally and socially viable.

On the other hand, Adrian Angel Viudes, despite holding public office, shows a surprising ignorance in environmental matters and legislation governing it, considering the state and community law a mere "pipeline."

This law exists to guarantee the conservation of a common, namely the environment.

The President of the Port Authority of Cartagena should not forget that the area where you intend to install the container terminal is a protected area at European level.

The Gorguel have parts that are part of the Natura 2000 network, and the Sierra de la Fausilla which is declared as SCI and SPA.

And you still have to explain how to solve the "injuries" are far from environmental to be minimal, as he wants to believe, with its lack of transparency of information to the public.

The lack of respect shown to the whole collective that do not conform to the proposed installation of a container terminal in the Gorguel, is proven in press statements as those made after the March for the Coast last June which "... was surprised by the media coverage of this protest and joked with the possibility that some people had come for boating and hiking and paella on a Sunday morning ...."

He also blamed environmental groups for its failure in the Dock Extension Heap: "... recalled that it had taken steps to inform all you want about the project and counter criticism from environmentalists.

"Few, but cackle a lot and we have realized that they can convince the public ...."

For all the foregoing, Ecologists in Action requested his dismissal as president of the Port Authority of Cartagena, for his demonstrated incompetence to hold that office.
