The entity considers that this decision "disregards" municipal sovereignty and "sacrifices" the Marina de Llucmajor area to turn it into an "energy megapolygon".</p>]]></description>

The measure responds to an amendment by MÁS, which called for a halt to the flood of large-scale projects that had taken advantage of strategic status to obtain the approval of the Governing Council without imposing filters or territorial criteria on their implementation.</p>]]></description>
