Employers Foment demand from the Government the expansion of the El Prat airport
La Ricarda The centennial lagoon that collides with the growth of El Prat
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.
