The

Barcelona City Council

opposes the extension

of the El Prat airport

designed by

Aena

.

The proposal presented by the municipal group of

Manuel Valls

(

Barcelona pel Canvi

), in the Commission of Ecology, Urbanism and Mobility of the Consistory, has been rejected in a vote that has divided the partners of the bipartite that governs the city, the

commons

and the

PSC

.

The councilors of

Esquerra Republicana

have also spoken out against the text, while

Ciudadanos

and the

PP

have done so in favor.

The councilors of

Junts per Catalunya

, for their part, have abstained.

Last week,

Foment del Treball

called on the

Generalitat

and the municipalities of the Barcelona metropolitan area to support the expansion of the airport infrastructure.

The president of the Catalan employers' association,

Josep Sánchez Llibre

, is working to promote a business front that will press for the construction of a new satellite terminal and the extension of the third runway over a protected natural area of ​​the

Delta del Llobregat

.

The main obstacle for the administrations involved to give their approval is precisely the environmental impact of the project, which Aena assures that it would be compensated to comply with the guidelines of the

European Commission

.

On the other hand, as

La Vanguardia

has advanced

, a report prepared at the proposal of the Barcelona City Council proposes the suppression of two out of every three flights between El Prat and

Barajas

and all those that link the Catalan capital with Valencia.

Colau has been, on several occasions, in favor of decongesting the airport on those routes that have a rail alternative.
