The Popular Party of Lanzarote has denounced this Friday that the first rains that fell during the day "have begun to flood the land" where the tents for immigrants have been set up, thus confirming what the mayor of Arrecife, Ástrid Pérez, “has been denouncing for almost a month based on the report prepared by the municipal coordinator of Civil Protection in the capital”.
According to details from the PP, the report, prepared last October, warned that “the facilities where the CATE is expected to go are not the most suitable, because different risks may occur”. In this sense, the populars add that the document warned "of the risk of flooding due to rainfall, risks associated with the possible presence of generating sets and also risks due to spills of wastewater from a pumping station located nearby”.
The president of the Lanzarote Popular Party and regional parliamentarian, Astrid Pérez, insists again on the “need for the State Government to proceed with its urgent dismantling, given that these facilities do not guarantee either the safety or a dignified care and reception for people”.
“Apart from the fact that the installation is illegal, that the Ministry of the Interior has not requested the pertinent permits and that the owner of the land is really the Port Authority, what we have all been able to see today is that this location is completely unfeasible and that the Government must start working now to find a solution”, emphasizes Astrid Pérez.
