The senator for the Autonomous Community of the Canary Islands, Fernando Clavijo, has presented a motion on the demarcation on the island of La Graciosa. This motion arises after the meeting held last week with the mayor of Teguise, Oswaldo Betancort, who conveyed the concern "for an error that has been prolonged in time and that generates uncertainty and concern among the residents of Caleta de Sebo".
In the motion, the senator urges the Government of Spain to give the pertinent order to review the demarcation, taken into consideration in the minutes of November 7, 2006, of description of the Autonomous Body of National Parks, of several plots located in the municipal district of Caleta de Sebo, on the island of La Graciosa, Teguise, relying on the municipal authorities "to make it easier to locate the milestones and return to taking the 1965 demarcation as a reference".
As the senator recalls in the text of his motion, in November 2016, the Teguise City Council, at the request of the residents of Caleta de Sebo, requested a review of the proceedings carried out by the Economy and Finance delegation in Las Palmas regarding the 2006 demarcation. The "errors" are attributed to the demarcation taken into consideration in the minutes of November 7, 2006, of description of the Autonomous Body of National Parks of several plots located in the municipal district of Caleta de Sebo.
More than 40 affected residents
Until that moment, CC affirms that the current demarcation and to which reference was always made without any problem was the one carried out in 1965. "Now, after the revision of that demarcation carried out in 2006, there are regularization files that supposedly invade plots of state ownership", says Fernando Clavijo. Thus, he points out that in this situation, there are more than 40 affected residents "due to the fear that they will have to pay for this unforeseen circumstance, since when the constructions were made the reference was the 1965 demarcation".
From CC they affirm that "everything seems to indicate that it is an error of the General Directorate of State Heritage and of the technicians who have georeferenced the milestones and the demarcation line itself" and they point out that the Teguise City Council itself maintains that it has topographic studies that also corroborate this situation, "which is necessary to attend to as it should be". "It is enough to visit the land, locate the milestones with the technicians and municipal authorities to find out that we are facing a remediable error" they conclude.
