This Sunday at noon, a new march organized by the “No to biogas in La Sagra” Platform took place again, this time in front of the land of the municipality of Villaluenga de la Sagra where the Verdalia company builds … a factory of this type of energy which uses organic and agricultural waste. This is the prelude to the concentration planned for next Thursday, at five in the afternoon, in front of the headquarters of the Presidency of Castile-La Mancha, at the Fuensalida Palace in Toledo, as well as another new concentration next Sunday in Villaluenga.
They were several hundred demonstrators from various places from the area who came this Sunday, despite the threat of rain, to protest in front of the construction of the new biogas plant.
Sources from the Platform, in addition to thanking the work that municipalities like Cobeja, Yuncler and Pantoja are doing to paralyze the factory, said they thought “It’s crazy that we discovered it more than a year after the work started”and they assure that they have detected several irregularities, linked to possible public health problems “which we will inform about shortly when the relevant complaints are presented”.
Another facade of the Platform will be contact various political parties present the situation before the regional courts, the Congress of Deputies, the European Parliament or the Ombudsman.
There was also a message for the regional president, Emiliano García-Page, who recalled that the last elections were very close for him when it came to achieving victory, “but in the next elections, if he does not return to his biomethanization project and does not look for other sizable implantation alternatives (not so close, not so large), including photovoltaic, they will not vote for him. There are many large cities that, although they sympathize with him, no longer want to vote for him.”, and they cited the opposition also in other localities of Castilla-La Mancha, such as in the province of Ciudad Real.
