Today, the extraordinary plenary session was held to approve the modifications to the preliminary version of the general structural plan of Xàbia. A session that began with the words of the town planning councilor, Isabel Bolufer, recalling that the planning review was agreed at the 2005.
Bolufer explained in detail all the steps taken to date with the tables for citizen participation, the creation of the Municipal Council, the consultative council, the drafting of the structural plan, the approval in a plenary session of the public exhibition, the meetings that were held in the three population centers and in neighborhood groups and the personalized attention of the councilor with all the people who have requested it.
After all these steps, now a new public exhibition process is reopening that will be on display until February 21 at the House of Culture and in the Multipurpose Room. Also, the Town hall It has planned a Town Planning Council and three neighborhood meetings in Customs, Arenal and Casco Antiguo.
The reasons for the opposition
The first to speak from the opposition has been Juan Ortolá, that outgoing said they were going to vote against. The mayor has qualified that is not against the model but the forms. For Ortolà, "The urgency with which it has been summoned has nothing to do with haste", since it means precipitation and not doing things when you play.
He also pointed out that in this plenary, the rights of the councilors of the opposition to the issues that are going to be discussed have been violated. According to Ortolà, "Failure to make available to the councilors the full documentation of the matters to be treated, would be more than sufficient reason to declare the plenary session void, which Chulvi said you have the technicians to see the files, nothing at all". The mayor has added that they would have liked to participate in the debate and reiterated the no because they have not been given another alternative.
Compromís spokesman, Vicent Colomer, in line with Ortolà, explained that he was going to abstain. For Colomer there has been little or no political participation, as an example that the reserve of sports ground they requested 60.000 mt2 and only 23.000 is contemplated. Colomer added that "We have to take the step, without endowment land we will not have infrastructure". The councilor added that the ordinances that are consulted are written in Valencian.
Oscar Antón, has also announced that he would vote against. They could access the documentation yesterday and complained that 24 hours before the planning commission was called by the councilor. Antón has reminded that they have had 18 months to answer the allegations, and he has lamented that without sports infrastructure the Ferrer academy goes away. "Today is a pure procedure for the elections and I think the way of dealing with the allegations is serious, today's plenary has a political component and the Psoe initiative has been zero", Anton has finished.
The popular spokesman, Juanjo García It has been brief. For him, the participation of the opposition has been null and the mayor has accused him of "you have not understood anything".
Mayor, José Chulvi, has closed the debate remembering that you have to comply with the law and move forward. According to Chulvi, "With another government we would return to the 1990 plan with more concrete, more bricks, more occupation of the territory and larger companies that bring workers from abroad, a model of empty houses 10 months a year and not a euro of benefit to the people ". The mayor has emphasized that they will not allow a business model to destroy a model of life.
Chulvi has wondered why they are wanted in Spain and Europe, concluding that it is "for environmental and landscape values and for the quality of life". "To kill this is to kill the golden egg hen", Chulvi added. The mayor recalled that if he governed the PP at the foot of the Montgó there would be 170 more chalets, and he ended by saying that "in this General Plan we play Xàbia continue being the same from here to 20 years."
The Psoe councilors voted in favor, abstentions of Vicent Colomer and Tere Bisquert and against, Juan Ortolá, Oscar Antón and Juanjo García. Juan Luís Cardona y Tere Ern were absent in the plenary session
I subscribe to the words of the Mayor, saying that even the PSOE leaves too much concrete in its path.
