The association advocating for the new route of the connection to the peninsula has not received a complaint from the Alcúdia City Council.
The City Council announced that it would sue Anaca for stating in a press release that the cable route was changed to benefit relatives
PalmThe Association for a New Agreement for the Alcúdia Cable (ANACA) has stated that, despite the recently announced information, they have not received any notification of a complaint from the City Council. In a statement, ANACAA insisted that they are therefore unaware of the content, scope, or procedural status of this complaint. It should be recalled that the City Council announced it would sue ANACAA for suggesting in a press release that the cable route was changed to benefit family members. However, the group has asserted that the press release does not mention any names or identify any political representative. The reference included in that press release, they added, comes exclusively from the official documentation published in the Official State Gazette (BOE) on September 27, 2024, which contains the complete list of plots affected by the initial route. "This is an objective and verifiable fact, not a personal accusation," they pointed out.
Thus, Anaca has rejected the claim of an alleged "attack on honor" when the statement does not identify any person or make any individual accusation. According to the group, the complaint, as it has been presented in the media, diverts the debate from the environmental analysis and attributes intentions to Anaca that do not correspond to reality. The citizens' group insisted that it did not assert anything but rather posed a "legitimate and reasonable" question about whether one of the unwritten criteria for the new route might have been to avoid affecting "influential" people. "It was raised as a question, not as an accusation, and within the notion of possible conflicts of interest, a legitimate category in the evaluation of public projects," they pointed out.
