Infrastructure and lightness of arguments for Prosperity


The official propaganda says that the Canaries will emerge from the crisis before the rest of the English state, dragged down by the improvement of tourism source markets up to the islands. As if this were not enough and are taking firm steps to create attractive to enhance the effect 'and that in turn put into motion the economic props. Economic strategy to bring the crisis Canary takes on unusual significance momentum certain engineering works intended, according to his spokesmen, put the community in its rightful place . Would have to analyze what this site is for us to reach and if your approach is the result of an inclusive and democratic discussion with all players that make up the Canary reality.

In any case this approach to our rightful place continue towards the production of more infrastructure, a gesture that recalls some past of underdevelopment, where poor infrastructure was necessary to promote projects that take out ostracism to the Canaries. Today the social need for these projects is more than doubtful and pedagogy of public authorities to justify absent. "Based on what studies justify these projects? Have there been public for discussion? Do they have the sufficient consensus? What kind of jobs are created with the momentum of these works? Are you a qualified and sustainable employment or are employed only the big machinery? Did contract work force in the municipality where the frame? Do they meet expectations and studies once their implementation is final and consistent performance? "If not, who bears the responsibility to devote an enormous amount of resources a project economic then shows dilapidated and underutilized? Are environmental conditions adequately assessed all these projects? Are the environmental impact assessment an effective instrument that takes into account the environment? "Pass on these infrastructures to improve the welfare of ordinary people?

In Canary know much about megaprojects sponsored unanimously by a policy installed in the dogma of infrastructure, a follower of the fetish of economic growth and very likely to justify the work appealing to the need to create jobs. The port of underused Arinaga in Gran Canaria, the future port of Granadilla on Tenerife, rail projects in both provincial capitals, are examples of these policies supported materials in an argument of great levity by their developers more direct.

For some time this part is encouraged competition, in our view detrimental, including some municipalities canaries that eliminates the possibility of a joint cooperation with each other to overcome situations of true isolation and / or hardship. The model of the Commonwealth of Southeast Gran Canaria, born to overcome a serious shortage of water and that after more than 20 years of joint projects in the environmental, economic and social development are a reference in the islands in the course sustainable and self-managed, is in retreat. Today canaries municipalities not only uncooperative but did not even compete for their peculiarities, its history, its food, the nature of its people and its natural beauty. In the run-century society XXI rivals to see which of them concentrated in airport infrastructure and ground transportation largest and curiously all claim to be a pole of economic and social development, all claim to represent the most genuine progress. The spectacle of the infrastructure that we refer once (The spectacle of the infrastructure) .

Further analysis of these economic processes seem to support the theory of Professor Enrique Gil Calvo, who maintains that ... applied Keynesianism today and that Keynesianism is not public, progressive and reformer who presided over the golden age of social democracy in the sixties, but Keynesianism is a completely different character for both private, conservative and reactionary. A right-wing Keynesianism, to understand, it does not benefit only labor income to capital income. (Privatization of Keynesianism. E. Gil Calvo. The Country. 30.12.2009).

Canary Current policy has nothing to reform. Prima economic development based exclusively on the creation of large engineering works against improving social indicators. A speech seasoned with the obligatory rhetoric about its innovative aspects that proclaims the need for such interventions. A deep and serious analysis of these projects shows that they are heirs of old initiatives that were born in the 70's of last century. In the case of Tenerife Island in the first Management Plan for the island (Doxiadis Plan), which draws a political-business class profoundly reactionary and defender of the status quo. Of course, a propaganda broadcaster supported bestial machinery media of great social impact are not available to critics with such projects. A very illustrative indicator of the level of democracy that has Canarias.

All these thoughts and many others appear to read in the press upcoming projects such as: Second

track in North Tenerife. At the end of 2010 saw the light of a news broadcast where the need to expand the airports of Tenerife (AENA study extends Rodeos with another track or improve the present. Avíos Journal. 12/17/2010) . The reason (in the Canary Islands always becomes an imperative) is again adapted the ability to use facilities to increase the expected demand. A forecast that includes giving more capacity to double airfield runways and extend their equipment attachments. Finally, a new change to the airport after less than 10 years of the renewal of its terminal, which is already being touted as necessary without question even that demands study and betting again for the constructive bulimia to accommodate tourism each time is more massive. And all this in a context are also provided for the second runway for Tenerife Sur and the third in Gran Canaria Gando.

El Puerto de Fonsalía . The most optimistic forecasts made by technicians, assume that informed, professional and objective, say that the future port in Guia de Isora Fonsalía spend more than 2 million passengers a year. Infrastructure is expected to replace the existing maritime port of Los Cristianos with regard to maritime traffic between the islands of the province (El Puerto de Fonsalía cost 200 million and will have 500 berths. Diario de Avisos. 01/23/2011) . The project is mandatory environmental impact study but as we could imagine, determines a very significant impact on the natural environment of the area. Further analysis of the project reveals that the situation port facility has been drawn on unused agricultural land and close to Punta de Teno LIC and LIC San Juan Marine Cave. Areas of ecological and environmental interest. (Port occupy agricultural land alongside two maritime LIC. The Day 01/26/2011)

port facility in Garachico. Garachico also have its own port facility. For almost a year, is building an infrastructure with sporting facilities and fishing smaller than Fonsalía but also seeks to become a pole of economic and social development the region (Port Works is 'forward' and culminating in a year. Diario de Avisos. 09/01/2010) . An infrastructure that will have transformative effects on the access roads to it and in the adjoining land, including the cliff of the cylinder head, a protected area for its high ecological sensitivity. Ring

Insular at the height of Chios. For works insular ring at the height of Chios, in operation for at least a year, were expropriated at the time sufficient land for the road built count with two lanes in each direction. It appears that the definition of the itinerary weighed very little that happened in the Book of The Badlands, another conservation area, whose boundaries had to be shortened to fit the road. The municipality of Guía de Isora now asks the Government of the Canary Islands that the path contains the maximum capacity to know that finally will have only one lane in each direction. (The Ring link is amended by unsafe Chío. Diario de Avisos. 22/01/1911) . Should tell the mayor that his application will guide quick satisfaction as the car park on the island continues to grow without any political leader has the audacity to put a stop to it. Will only matter of time that road ends up in a few years unfold.

And we could continue with endless interventions in Tenerife, Gran Canaria and other islands.
