The associations Movimiento Vecinal Argana Viva, Pueblo Maho, COUP, Lanzarote Limpia and the Frente de Lanzarote platform have called a rally this Thursday to show their support for José Miguel Frahija, who has reported suffering being run over by a businessman whom he had recorded a few weeks earlier to report that he is "stripping" rofe in La Geria.
Following the news published this Wednesday in La Voz, these associations have sent a joint statement showing their support for the complainant, "thanking that there are people on the island who are not indifferent to the destruction and degradation of Lanzarote's natural heritage."
"This is a clear example that reporting attacks against the environment on this island is risking your life," says Alberto Ucero, predoctoral researcher at the CSIC and founder of Frente de Lanzarote, who points out that this support "also aims to make visible the third-world corruption that exists in Lanzarote."
For his part, Aduén Andres Morales, who points out that he has a PhD in Biology from the University of Birmingham and is a member of the Lanzarote Limpia association and founder of the Fight for Nature Lanzarote platform, states that "it is necessary for society to publicly stand up for the protection of natural heritage and for the population to know that all people who report infringements or crimes against the environment will have the support of Lanzarote's associations and groups."
These groups have announced that they will gather this Thursday, March 25, at 5 p.m., on Camino de la Caldereta I, and remind that it can be reached via the LZ-30 at the height of Uga or through the village of La Asomada.
The associations, which will carry signs under the slogan "we are all José Miguel", remind potential attendees that it is "mandatory to comply with health regulations."
