The PSPV requests a personalized response to all allegations presented by affected residents, entities, and groups, "without any excuse." Socialist spokesperson Patricia Puerta recalled that the municipal government's change of stance comes after weeks of resident mobilization and pressure from the PSPV to demonstrate the project's incompatibility with Castelló's General Plan.
"We are pleased that Carrasco has had to rectify, but residents cannot settle for headlines or public statements. They need legal and administrative guarantees certifying that this waste plant will never be built on the Alcora road," stated Puerta.
The socialist spokesperson reminds that the mayor publicly announced the plant would not proceed and the company would modify the project, but to date, there is no municipal resolution definitively closing the file nor any document guaranteeing the risk has disappeared. "If the municipal government is so convinced that this project has no place in Castelló, it should put it in writing and provide security to the residents. After everything that has happened, no one can ask them for an act of faith," she affirmed.
Furthermore, the socialist municipal group demands that the City Council technically respond to the hundreds of allegations registered during the public exhibition period. For Puerta, it would not be acceptable for all these citizen contributions to remain unanswered under the argument that the project will be modified.
"The allegations contain very solid urban planning, environmental, and general interest arguments. They must be answered one by one because residents have the right to know the City Council's technical assessment and how it initially intended to justify an installation that generated unanimous social rejection and was also incompatible with the General Plan," she explained.
The socialist spokesperson insisted that citizens deserve to know the full truth about the processing carried out so far. "For weeks, we heard representatives of the Popular Party say that the council could do nothing or even tell residents that the plant would eventually be built. Today we know that was not the case. Precisely for this reason, it is so important that everything is documented and that the technical and legal reasons for each decision are explained."
