My biggest disagreement and rejection of the number of trees that are being cut off on the excuse of the pedestrian policy that is taking place in Villava.

You will forgive me, but it is no longer known, like us, how bad the disease of the trees has caused. Listen, I have started to suspect that this is an excuse. What I know is that they are cutting trees that offered a sweet shade, the other day in two different streets of the town. On the other hand, in order to build new parking spaces and with the order to expand the sidewalks, so many other trees are being thrown to the ground in the streets of our town.

This is the witness that we will leave to our future generations. Cut the tree that fascinated you, do it aside and go ahead. Is this message that we really want to receive possible? I imagine how much the budget increased obedience to the demand for replanting these teenage trees elsewhere. That is obvious. But it has to be said that the management that prioritizes cement has never benefited our people. You will remember the paths adopted by the proposals that were long ago for the construction of the few parks that existed in Villava…

I also know that a uprooted tree will find no place anywhere and that it will not be able to repose anywhere, because that is the way in which they have cut it so far. I say this, because it is what has started to happen to many of us in the people. I will tell you about it among us, but as long as citizenship goes on, it will become increasingly difficult to give way to new trees and young people for future generations. Things are getting faster and faster, we are giving less and less space at the same time as they need to complete natural processes in general. Many of the trees that have been cut today have taken more than 20 years to reach these dimensions. For many it has been a lifetime.

I do not know whether, like most of the measures taken under the influence imposed by this cruel and evil virus, they have been for the sake of our humanity or not, because this inevitable question comes to mind again and again. I would say that the fact that more and more works are being done in less time, and that the more notable the policies that go in line with the buildings, does not really answer in favour of a majority. You also have to teach people that things take the time to make them happen and that you can't change everything in one stroke, because you've tried. But it's up to us to show how things change little by little, little by little, and if we want changes to stay here, we need to have changes that take time to stay forever.

The moment I write this, looking out the window of my bedroom, you're pulling with the chainsaw the last tree, robust and beautiful, that was standing in front of the street. I can't contain my tears. The fault is not of the workers, who do their work; the fault is not of the company that has won the tenders, because they won the proposal presented at the cheapest price in a legitimate public competition, and only what has been promised is being fulfilled; the fault is not of the town hall nor, because it is taking in its hand the laws that benefit all the neighbours and neighbours we live here, and they are doing it as they can. In turn, they act in response to the demands of the people. So who is the fault of?

Perhaps we were wrong on the way and we did not want to see this insatiable passion for doing everything today and this year is not taking us anywhere.

Let us not simply forget that by cutting down the last tree, by falling the last leaf, perhaps when the day comes when the earth is exhausted, we will continue here. And if we don't make nature the centrepiece of our policies, maybe we don't find room anywhere.

I just wanted to say that ... One last thing, the Mound is beautiful! ! ! Encourage Mikel and the whole team.
