The PSOE of Tinajo has shown in a press release its "rejection" of the way in which the mayor, Jesús Machín, has processed the progress of the Master Plan for Coastal Management of La Santa, bringing to an extraordinary and urgent plenary session a document "key to the future of the municipality, but without time for its analysis, without dialogue and turning its back on the citizens".
The socialist councilwoman Begoña Hernández recalls that this progress, although it has no normative value, "is indeed a strategic document that can set the lines for a future modification of the General Plan"."We are talking about the future of La Santa's coastline: how it will be used, what will be permitted, what will be protected, and what kind of coastal model we want for Tinajo. This is not a minor matter and it cannot be rushed through and approved without public participation," Hernández emphasizesFor the PSOE, what happened in the extraordinary plenary session "reflects a way of governing based on haste and opacity.""The mayor has brought this document with political stealth, without material time to study it in depth and without providing a real space for debate. Jesús Machín is too accustomed to making decisions alone and assuming that the opposition and citizens will simply applaud," denounces the councilwoman"This urgency is even more serious if we remember that the governing group has imposed a deadline of just 20 days that coincides entirely with the Christmas holiday period, making it difficult for residents and community groups to calmly analyze the document and submit objections," it continues.
The socialists insist that the progress of the Master Plan for the La Santa coastline “deserves a calm analysis, with clear reports, with neighborhood participation, and with the involvement of the sectors concerned”: athletes, fishermen, businesses, neighborhood groups, and environmental associations.
"The reasonable thing to do would be to open an information and participation process, explain the content of the document, and listen to proposals. Instead, the fast and obscure route has been chosen, reducing a strategic matter for Tinajo to a simple plenary procedure," criticizes HernándezFor the PSOE of Tinajo, coastal planning "must be done with transparency, rigor, and participation, ensuring that decisions about the territory respond to the general interest and not to improvised agendas.""The coast of La Santa is not just another piece of paper in a file: it is an essential part of Tinajo's identity and future. Decisions cannot be made behind people's backs," concludes the socialist councilwoman.
