"It is reasonable to think - Manuel Padín has explained in the plenary session - that the disorganization and the lack of political coordination is the only reason for the delay in the processing of licenses, as it is strange that during the whole" boom "of the construction of others years would have been able to cope with the large volume of work that had, with the same technical staff, and once the work decreases begin to emerge the problems that are now reported.
