Both organizations have filed a complaint with the Nature Protection Service of the Guardia Civil (Seprona) to investigate the accumulation of waste, including pruning remains, rubble, and various trash, deposited directly on municipal land.
The situation is particularly concerning with summer approaching, as the large amount of dry vegetation poses a significant fire risk that could affect agricultural land and nearby areas of the Vega de Granada.
This case is just "the tip of the iceberg" of a broader problem related to the degradation of various areas in the municipality.
The organizations state that this dumping on public land is "unseemly" for an administration that should enforce environmental regulations. They warn that this is just one example of degradation in the municipality, mentioning rubble accumulations in other areas like the drylands of Casas Bajas and the surroundings of Santa Teresa.
They recall the importance of the Vega de Granada as a natural heritage and demand an "exemplary" attitude from public administrations, along with a decisive policy against environmental degradation. They deem it "unacceptable" that citizens are required to comply with environmental rules while "public spaces accumulate waste and rubble without effective measures being taken".
Therefore, they demand "immediate" action to clarify the events, remove the waste, restore the affected areas, and establish a surveillance plan to prevent new dumping. They emphasize that environmental defense "cannot remain in speeches" and that the Vega de Granada "deserves protection, respect, and responsible management".
Finally, they do not rule out approaching the Provincial Prosecutor's Office for Environment in Granada if necessary to ensure intervention.
