The deputy and spokesperson for Ciudadanos in the Parliament of the Canary Islands, Ricardo Fernández de la Puente, will question the Government of the Canary Islands this Tuesday about “the situation of the maritime-terrestrial domain of the municipality of Yaiza, after the latest reports from Coasts displacing it and which, foreseeably, will affect a large number of properties”. 

Fernández de la Puente "expresses his concern" about a situation that “displaces the public maritime-terrestrial domain of almost fifty properties and plots located less than 100 meters from the sea on the coast of Yaiza to a distance of one hundred meters, instead of the 20 meters agreed during the drafting of the Coast Law of 1988 for those areas that had a partial plan to regulate them”.

According to the Cs deputy, “the estimates of the economic impact of the application of the report's conclusions place the compensation to be paid to the owners between 1,100 and 1,500 million euros”, and he has pointed out that “more than 3,000 jobs would be in danger of continuity if the affected apartment complexes and shopping centers were finally demolished”.

“We are facing a delicate issue that also involves high legal complexity”, declared Fernández de la Puente, who has requested the Government of the Canary Islands “a detailed study that is interested in the similar realities that could occur on each island, and that, by virtue of its conclusions, avoids more situations of this type in our archipelago in the future”.
