Ana Pontón, the spokesperson for BNG, asked Xunta President Alfonso Reda to «abandon political pride» and «rectify» with the Altri project, which she described as an «environmental bomb».
She made these statements to journalists during her visit to the X edition of «Gastronomic Forum» Galicia, where she emphasized the importance of preserving the production of the agri-food industry and related to seafood, as well as the environment.
Pontón pointed out that with the Altri project in Xunta, «All the production of Ría de Aruso and the region of Do Ulla is in danger,» highlighting the «clam against the macrocel» after the «historic» demonstration in Pobra.
«We do not want mortgage loans that put more than 8,000 jobs at risk,» said the national spokesperson for those who are «instead of criminalizing and insulting people who democratically defend the future of this country» to rectify «and abandon the» project «.
«Stop making a company like Altri, PP irresponsibility, instead of defending rural areas and the environment, it defends the interests of a Portuguese company against Galicia.»
In this regard, Ponton recalled that Greenalia, «the company led by former councilor Beatriz Mato, is a partner of Altri.» «Another example of how revolving doors operate in our country,» she said, emphasizing that the future of Galicia does not lie in polluting industries.
Meanwhile, in statements by Minister of the Environment, Ángeles Vázquez, regarding Altri, she assured that «for the first time it recognizes that it is a macrocellulose and not a biofabric.» It was after Vázquez was asked if it was, she said: «Talking about macrocellulose often people say» what comes to us «. Well, the answer is you have to look at Marín, which is near Pontevedra, and all its beaches have a blue flag.
However, Pontón emphasized that the decision on this project «was made from the first minute before there was a single report.» Meanwhile, she described it as «mocking the fact that it is not stated that the Ulla River does not provide for the population.»
On the same day, she asked the government delegate of Galicia, Pedro Blanco, about the mobilization in Pobra, stating that it was «a great demonstration» of citizens exercising a «fundamental right.»
On the other hand, she referred to statements by the Minister of Industry and Tourism, Jordi Heru, who considered that the positive declaration of the environmental impact agreed by Xunta de Galicia for the project in Palas de Rei (Lugo) is «highly conditioned,» warning that this plan «affects a high environment and natural resources, natural resources, Landscape, landscape, landscape, landscape landscape.
