The report, to which ARA Balears has had access, expressly proposes that the competent body issue the agreement to initiate the procedure, considering that "several essential conditions" of the concession title have been breached. In other words, the criterion set by the head of the Coasts and Coastline service was to end a concession of bars and restaurants that had breached the law. Given this forcefulness, <a href="https://en.arabalears.cat/politics/from-public-recognition-to-dismissal-the-government-dismisses-the-director-of-costs-who-denounced-bribe_1_5818121.html" >the already ousted Director General of Coasts, Maria Joaquina Ferrer</a> – who is also a civil servant – considered that there was no other path than to follow the technical and legal criterion.</p>]]></description>

With the approval of the Industrial Estates Law, the authorization of these large-scale installations is prohibited under the pretext of considering them strategic in nature and, therefore, allowing them to be carried out on a fast-track basis.</p>]]></description>
