The Puerto Calero Owners Association warns that Puertos Canarios has called an Administrative Council to be held tomorrow, Friday, July 25, 2025, in which it intends to apply regulations made in an opaque and tailor-made manner to facilitate a speculative operation that violates rights acquired by dozens of private owners and threatens the legal security of the port and the hundreds of jobs linked to it.
This warning comes in a context of great concern among the owners, after the deadline for appeals to the extension of the concession requested by Puerto Calero Marinas S.L., and in the face of indications that the public body is ignoring both individual appeals and those submitted by the Association, representing more than 65% of the titleholders with rights in the port.
During the extraordinary meeting held on July 14, the members unanimously approved a response strategy to what they consider an opaque and damaging maneuver for the interests of the owners and the port. The Association has already registered strong legal opposition to the extension requested by the concessionaire, arguing that the new law recently approved in the Canarian Parliament seems designed exclusively to legalize an unprecedented "economic windfall" in the sports ports of the archipelago.
In addition, the owners have presented a reasoned counteroffer, with the aim of reaching a possible agreement with the concessionaire, provided that the conditions and rights of the current titleholders are respected. This proposal includes voluntary economic contributions from the members, which would cover the committed investment in the concessionaire's economic report, without the need to apply abusive prices per square meter or expropriate rights through imposition.
The Association insists that, if Puertos Canarios continues with the process without taking into account the appeals submitted, they will not rule out taking legal action and acting at all levels to denounce the outrage that is going to be consummated with a "tailor-made law" processed in an opaque manner to favor economic interests to the detriment of the entire social community linked to the port. "We are not going to allow historical rights to be expropriated or an unjust law to be applied to benefit private interests at the expense of the common heritage," say sources from the Board of Directors.
Likewise, a call is made to all owners to maintain possession of their property, avoid individual communications with the concessionaire and channel any management through the Association and its legal team.
