Environmentalist victory against the illegal villa of the son of the former mayor of Bellver de Cerdanya
The Sindicatura de Greuges concludes that the works to convert an old miners’ tool shed into a house on land owned by the mayor’s son began without a license and that the council promoted a dubious regularization of the permit.
At first glance it is an incomparable setting: meadows, the valley, the mountains in the background… But quickly the camera installed in the ‘drone’ captures a construction that breaks all harmony. It is Casa Alay, a property that has caused an earthquake in the small town of Bellver de Cerdanya. The case is an example of how the private interest of a politician imposes itself on the public, but also of a citizen reaction that has resulted in a victory for the ecological group SOS Pirineus and the resignation of the mayor.
