The regional deputy Esther González González, from Nueva Canarias, has requested from the Parliament of the Canary Islands a copy of the file for processing the title of new concession of the Port of Santa Águeda requested by the entity Cementos Especiales de las Islas (Ceisa), the cement company of the Asturian group Masaveu. On October 24, 2024, the request was qualified by the Parliament of the Canary Islands. The request was made in July and it was in June when NC made a visit to the plant.
For months NC has been trying to find the existence of an unfavourable report on the request of the Asturian cement company to extend the concession of its cement factory in the port of Santa Águeda. NC in Mogán and San Bartolomé de Tirajana visited the plant because they are opposed to its closure under the terms that CC and PP have agreed.
NC is opposed to the non-granting of the new concession for the port infrastructure, both from an environmental point of view, "due to the excessive increase in gas emissions that would be involved in having to move the hundreds of tons of cement produced by the factory via the GC-1" and "from the point of view of the management of the distribution of production throughout the rest of the archipelago". For Carmelo Ramírez, the cement factory in the south of Gran Canaria "represents a strategic value for the whole of the Canary Islands", expressing that it does from the island's Council and that "it represents exactly that, self-sufficiency in cement production, which makes us competitive and not dependent on foreign countries".
