VEÏNS DE PARCENT DEMONSTRATE
OUTSIDE THE OFFICES OF BALLESTER
IN BENIDORM, PROMOTER OF PAI
'EL REPLA'















Veïns de Parcent travelled to Benidorm
to demonstrate outside the offices
of Ballester, the promoter of the largest
of the three PAIs threatening Parcent.
After a concentration which attracted
the attention and support of many passers by
two representatives of our association
asked to speak to President, Andres Ballester.
We were received by the head of communications,
Orlando Torregrosa who regretted that Señor
Ballester was not present but offered to arrange
a meeting for Veïns de Parcent with the Directors
of Ballester, in early February. He also accepted
a bulging file of press cuttings of the over 400
press reports our activities have received over
the last year. We pointed out to Señor Torregrosa
that such bad publicity was not helpful for
his company. We also delivered a letter asking
Ballester to officially withdrawthe PAI 'El Repla'
on the grounds that it has report from the Ombudsmen
recommending it's supsension due to lack of
a favourable water report from the CHJ, the two
Tribual rulings provisionally suspending the
project and the possibility of action from the
European Parliament over breach of EU legislation.
We further asked for assurances that the 201,ooo
euros Ballester have handed to the Town Hall will
not be returnable, should the PAI be withdrawn
or suspended, by whatever body.
We await their response.
We would like to thank Señor Alfred Botella,
Diputado in the Cortes Valencianas for the
EU-Els Verds, L'Entesa for accompanying
us to this demonstration and for his continual
support in the Valencian Parliament.
