environmental associations south of Madrid, directed by ex-mayor of Parla dissatisfied with their environmental policy. CITY COUNCIL

South ARBA-Madrid, The Collective The Espartal-Ecologists in Action Valdemoro, Gorse-Pinto Ecologists in Action and the Association of Local Native Fauna and Flora Torrejón de Velasco, have approached the former mayor of the European Parliament and Secretary General of the PSOE in Madrid D. Tomas Gomez Franco, to express their dissatisfaction with the environmental policy for years has developed in the town of Parla.
During his city councilman, their environmental policies has been characterized, contrary to that expressed by the municipal propaganda, by a manifest disregard for the conservation of natural areas of the municipality and its fauna and flora, as well as for the urban environment, which have been damaged regularly by true environmental attacks, in line with previous continuo aldermen.
Thus, these associations have pointed to the ex-mayor, promoted ecological numerous attacks during their municipal government, as the numerous developments built (Las Americas, Parla Este, El Leguario, Laguna Park) on irreplaceable natural areas due to their ecological value. In particular, urbanization Laguna Park, stands on what was the gap in the gallows or of the European Parliament until its development, being replaced by the ironically named Whale Park.
The planned urbanization of 80% of the municipality, with projects that do not guarantee far from sustainable development, such as the Parque Tecnológico de Parla, which will destroy critical habitats for endangered species like raptors and steppe birds, affected the conservation irrevesiblente Humanejos Arroyo, already suffering in part from his tour of the construction in Parla Hospital nearby, which caused its deforestation and pollution with waste water, coming not only from the hospital, but also of urbanization Las Americas.
The surprising inclusion of Cerro de La Cantueña, natural area of \u200b\u200bgreat ecological value, the green ring of Parla, transforming nature into a mere urban park.
arboricide Management promoted by the council of this town, systematically violating the Law 8 / 2005 on the Protection and Development of Urban Trees in the Community of Madrid, to illegally promoting abusive pruning and felling urban trees, including more than 300 trees, many with more than 40 years old, killed for the establishment of the Parla tramway or failure to plant a new tree for each parking space.
unacceptable The clearing of marsh and riparian vegetation Humanejos stream as it passes through the Park of the communities of Spain and the Dehesa Boyal, the destruction of the Dehesilla stream, passing through Boyal Meadow Park, disingenuously to transform in a simple waste water collection, with prior removal of riparian vegetation planted on it with the foundation of the park, the use of trees (arbutus) extracted from the natural environment, creating new botanical garden in Parla, and the previous destruction of existing trees there, and so on.
Therefore, these associations consider that environmental policy developed in the town of Parla, by the present Secretary General of the PSOE in Madrid, is not a credible propaganda in defending other planning and management natural environment, so we urge to create new expectations for sustainable development for the Community Madrid at the time of being elected President of the same, starting with environmental restoration and landscaping of the few remaining natural areas in the town of Parla, defending to the death also adjacent territories as mistreated and undervalued IBA Torrejón Velasco-drylands of Valdemoro, to the failure of the Community of Madrid to declare the SPA area. This would show that will provide new environmental policy for the region and by the way, a unique opportunity to enjoy iconic species.
