Turcón-Ecologistas en Acción expressed this Wednesday its satisfaction with the decision of the Supreme Court to block the works of Loro Parque in El Veril to clone the Siam Park of Tenerife in the south of Gran Canaria. Turcón said that "there is no choice but to conclude that this is a political decision in which the public authorities committed to the private company to make the construction of the water park possible prior to the company allocating resources to this project." .
The environmental organization states that "the issue would only be anecdotal if it were not for the fact that the expense is made with funds from the FDCAN, through the Maspalomas-Costa Canarias Consortium, detracting from other basic needs and priority public services, thus detracting from the most necessary investments. and of greater social value" and that the City Council must proceed to file the project.
For Turcón, the fact that the land is not owned by Loro Parque but is owned by the State "is something that vitiates this whole procedure from the beginning" and that "the private company is the owner of what it truly is not, no matter how much they have dedicated resources to an acquisition, which is simply impossible" since "the complicity of the public authorities with responsibility in this matter, such as, mainly, the Insular Water Council, means that we find ourselves with a political, legal, and environmental attack unacceptable from from any point of view, leading to a abandonment of the defense of resources that should improve the citizen income to be contributed by this project," the group has denounced.
The environmental entity has indicated that the Property Registrar "has made contradictory registrations on the ownership of the land, which in no case should exist since the only owner of a large part of the land is the State and double and contradictory registration is a anomaly" that generates "economic, environmental, archaeological and heritage rights" of Gran Canaria for the benefit "of a company".
