From those muds, these silts. As simple as that. As serious as that. Lanzarote is beginning to reap the bitter fruits of not having done what should have been done from the institutions. That is, being scrupulous with the fulfillment of the law. The problem is that now, the consequences of these acts are going to affect the entire island.
One of the examples has just arrived now, with the Islas Canarias parking lot. In reality, the ruling that declared it illegal has been known for years, but after the ultimatum given by the Superior Court of Justice of the Canary Islands, the City Council has been forced to face a problem that has been left aside, as if it were going to disappear. But it is still there, and now more alive than ever, given that for years, municipal officials have not sought a solution.
Unfortunately, the main victims if the demolition has to take place, or simply the closure that the City Council will initially agree to, will be the residents of Arrecife. First, due to the parking problem that has been generated in this city, aggravated now with the construction of the bike lane on El Reducto Avenue. But above all, due to the millionaire figure that the Consistory would have to pay, that is, all the residents of the capital, both for the demolition itself and for the compensation to the owners.
Therefore, it is inevitable that the City Council seeks a solution to avoid drastic measures. And it is also inevitable that many citizens do not understand that this work has to be torn down, and even less if it is going to mean a millionaire expense for the municipal coffers.
This is not the only example of the disastrous consequences of the advice of the creators of the "a piece of paper is missing" theory. The quintessence of the malpractice of these reckless jurists occurred in Yaiza, where an attempt was made to create a web to justify the granting of legal licenses.
This same week, in the trial held against the promoter Miguel Morales, the accused went so far as to say that he changed his defense in this case because his lawyer (Juana Fernández de las Heras, daughter and office partner of Felipe Fernández Camero), was "getting him into a mess". And he explained shortly after stating that if he built three warehouses, a concrete plant and a crusher on rustic land and without a license in Arrecife it was because "his advisors" told him that he could do it.
Although he did not want to name them, it would be good if it were clear. Who tells a businessman to build facilities of 2,000 meters on protected land and without a license, that there is no problem? Who told María Isabel Déniz that, despite the controversy that arose at the time, and even the warnings to take the matter to court, she should continue with the construction of the Islas Canarias car park? Who told the former mayor of Yaiza, José Francisco Reyes, at the time, to issue licenses wholesale, despite the fact that the courts have shown that they did not comply with the law?
While some of these issues are resolved in criminal proceedings, with the first trials that have already begun and many others that are still pending, those responsible for all this have put the island as a whole in a real "mess".
And the worst thing is that now, they intend to hold the judges, the prosecutors, the complainants and even the Holy Spirit responsible for this if necessary, and on top of that they put the workers as a shield, who obviously have also become victims of this situation. But not victims of Justice, but of the injustice committed in their day by certain businessmen, certain politicians and certain "advisors".
