Things from Las Palmas: a self-employed person is expropriated for a business owned by the owners of Hiperdino

The best prices in the Canary Islands. In Las Palmas, which generates a bad image for tourism in the south of Gran Canaria with its traffic problems, safety on beaches, pollution of coastal waters, lack of a blue flag on the beach of Las Canteras, where the bankrupt shopping centres of Playa del Inglés are criticised every now and then, this Wednesday it was learned that in 2014 (with officials trusted by the PP) they expropriated a self-employed person who had a business so that the owners of Hiperdino and the HD Parque Cristóbal complex could build what they call the Alisios shopping centre. 

This has come to light because the Civil Guard is investigating, with Operation Valka, movements of land that was allegedly looted to generate land operations with a purpose other than that for which it was expropriated. It was said that the land was for housing: no. It was for a shopping centre. "Not a single house in an area that is precisely being investigated by the investigating court number 2 of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in the so-called Operation Valka," said TV Canaria. One of those affected was paid 157.000 euros for 1.600 metres that today would cost a fortune.
