Barberá call to De la Vega to prevent the government from taking part of the El Saler

'He wanted to return to El Saler as God created at the time, which now reaches to the Government and us it away. Why did not come earlier, when needed the money? " Mayor Rita Barbera has deployed a battery of arguments and criticisms against the demarcation approved by the Ministry of Environment of 50 hectares of Devesa, between the path of SoHo and Gola of Pujol. The first local authority drew even on the phone to the vice president of the Government, Maria Teresa Fernandez de la Vega, to freeze the file, and approved a final.

'I have to say first that I am grateful for the courtesy that I would respond to the little while, immediately. I expressed my concern and told me that given time, I needed to know everything that was going on. " That deadline requested by the coordinator of the action of government (not by the candidate for Valencia in the general Barberá qualified), does not preclude recourse to the last Consistory for presentation at the Audiencia Nacional.

Barberá ensures that the demarcation, which includes 486,000 square metres of exactly municipal properties, is part of the 'permanent attitude of the Government of disrespect to the properties of Valencia'.

Ensures that will 'all administrative and judicial means in my power "to stop the demarcation to add that this is a' plundering government, with this action the Government of Zapatero wants to take the brave part of the heritage of most wanted and pampered by Valencia, El Saler.

Remember that the city owns the Devesa and lagoon since 1911, thanks to an agreement of the Cortes Generales, with the signing of King Alfonso XIII. The crown was the previous owner of El Saler, who was paid an amount that the rondo million pesetas.

'It was paid in instalments-Barbera says - and this whole process has a historic burden that the Government ignored. Just memory for what is interesting, 'jokes. He added that the current record was paralyzed in 1998 and now has' opacity, a lack of transparency and night '.

Even the notification to the City Council has been non-existent. 'I arrive letters where only puts my name, not even address. Instead, we learned the purpose of the minister Narbona through a notice in the official gazette.

The minister was targeted for much of the intervention Barberá, which showed levels of demarcation. 'This is what we want to remove all Valencians' he insists.

'For us Ministry unknown. " It also accuses the delineation does not meet the intent of the Coastal Act, ie avoiding the erosion of the coastline. 'What you know Valencia? If El Saler has recovered! But what is this', the mayor was asked.

In one part of the dossier, he says, it is said that the zone has benefited from a natural regeneration. " This further aroused the wrath of the first local authority. 'They hide the work of the City Council, its technicians, and that is something that no consent'.

The municipal government has until March 24 to submit the dispute in the Audiencia Nacional. Of the appeal, 'better not do anything', in view of what happened during processing.

For his part, the Socialist Group ensures that the accusations and outright opposition from the mayor Rita Barbera to the demarcation of the sea and land line only responds to a single goal: the general elections. 'We do not understand their opposition when the amendment is now just one 3 1995, which the City Council did not raise objections and that' even tried to vary during the eight years in which the PP was at the forefront central government ', says bluntly the socialist councillor Carmina River.

The Socialists remember that the vehement criticisms of the mayor 'are unfounded. " The City Council has ownership of 486,000 square meters of 518,000 included in the delineation, as the remaining 32,000 are for the owners of Sidi Saler with 20,000 meters and urbanization. The Casbah with 12,000 square meters. Del Rio insisted that the 486,000 square metres included in the municipal demarcation pose only 15,000 more than the approximately 471,000 originally planned. 'I do not understand that pose an appeal against the demarcation in the Audiencia Nacional already lost in advance, and have not hesitated to accuse' plundering of the central government by a margin of only 3 percent. This is certainly evidence exclusively electoral interests of the Partido Popular '.

Barbera said that during their tenure have invested 70 million for the regeneration of dunes, mesh and elimination of urbanization in 70 years. 'Do you remember that the Government of El Saler is for the people? So that '.
