Under the slogan "No to the Antenna, no", more than a hundred residents of the San Francisco Javier neighborhood protested this Wednesday in front of the neighborhood's socio-cultural center, to demand that the Arrecife City Council immediately remove the mobile phone base station installed in the building at Calle Enrique IV, number 9, in this neighborhood.
The "La Bufona" Neighborhood Association demands that the capital's mayor, Cándido Reguera, not turn a "deaf ear" and not grant the license to operate the mobile phone antenna until there is a report from the World Health Organization that determines that there is no risk to public health from being exposed to this type of facility.
The neighborhood group recalls that the municipal ordinance for the installation and operation of radiocommunication and mobile phone facilities in the municipality of Arrecife considers any educational center, health center, hospital and geriatric center, nursing home and any other that the Arrecife City Council deems appropriate through reasoned reasoning as sensitive centers. In this sense, the "La Bufona" Neighborhood Association asks the capital's Consistory to consider as sensitive centers the two playgrounds that are located less than 200 meters from the location of the mobile phone base station.
As a preventive measure, the "La Bufona" Neighborhood Association, together with the Lanzarote Consumers Association (Aculanza), has announced that it will file a complaint with the Environmental Prosecutor's Office.
