Ana Pontón, the spokesperson for BNG, threatened to challenge Xunta again if Xunta does not «discard all documents» in the Altri industrial project in Palas de Rei (Lugo), including those used by the regional administration to assess environmental viability.
During a press conference at the Galician parliament, Pontón stated that in the upcoming plenary session starting on Tuesday, the nationalists will denounce «all the darkness, opportunity, and irregularities» surrounding this «macrocellulose» project. This will be the «second chance» given to the government of Alfonso Ruda before resorting to legal action.
The opposition leader referred to this project as an «environmental bomb in the heart» of Galicia that jeopardizes the «dual alliance» and whose administrative drive «is incompatible with the democratic and transparent operation that citizens require.»
In this context, Pontón called on the Galician government to make public «all the secret documents» related to this project that are being kept «under lock and key in the bunker at San Cetano.»
Specifically, BNG insists on requesting the documents related to the «alleged international competition» conducted by the Public-Public-Private entity established in 2021 to promote commercial projects, including the «Memorandum» signed with Altri and «all communications» between both parties regarding this project.
Additionally, they are demanding access to the 36 documents used by Xunta to approve the environmental impact statement (EIS). «We know that many of these reports have been subcontracted, which could be illegal and grounds for cancellation,» Pontón added.
Not surprisingly, the national BNG spokesperson also referred to the Galician Xunta’s instrumental entities in the Concel of Contas, published last week, to ensure that the supervisory body is «disarming» the «bankruptcy arguments» used by the PP to «conceal accounts,» as well as the company, and Galicia.
Contas has requested the Galician government to disclose and present the promotional accounts for public scrutiny, as it holds a 48% direct and indirect capital stake and 50% of voting rights. Additionally, its presidency is owned by the Minister of Economy and Industry, María Jesús Lorenzana.
