The mayor warned of devastating consequences for health, environment and agriculture of this technique, which explains why, in his opinion, the "secrecy" with which the Regional Government, which granted permission to the company without even consulting mayors, has brought this issue.
"It is absolutely false that this activity generates employment, but, on the contrary, it will destroy jobs in agriculture and tourism, to produce a dangerous contamination of groundwater, the atmosphere and expand the risk of earthquakes in the area."
Also, the councilor said many countries such as France and Canada have refused to introduce this technique and have applied the precautionary principle as beneficial in controversial cases like this.
"The PP's Northwest region in favor of fracking because their mayors are lackeys of the President of the Region, Ramón Luis Valcárcel, and do not look after the interests of the residents, an attitude of irresponsibility that is sure to have an answer strongly by organized society antifracking platform "has completed.
