Today, World Environment Day, the members of the Navarra Platform against Macroines meet to denounce the new intentions of the company Valle de Odieta Caparroso. The platform calls on the Foral Government to ensure compliance with the law and defends "traditional livestock models", that is, "small farms, especially ecological and extensive farms, linked to the territory and driven by institutions". In fact, they have rejected the draft of a sewage treatment plant in the Caparroso jeans and the proposed solution for sewage, which “damage the environment” and breach European guidelines. Two appeals have been lodged against various resolutions of the Department of the Environment.

Lorea Flores said that “they say they will apply the best available techniques, but at European level there are guides that recommend not to use those that will be used in this project”. This project “will not ensure the generation of water with sufficient quality to water” and, on the other hand, the platform denounces that “it has an enormous cost” and “it damages the environment”. The platform also criticised Caparroso’s company’s interest in extending its exploitation, “850 cows already exceed the maximum”.

In February the Parliament of Navarre approved a proposal to amend the Foral Animal Health Act of Navarre and to define macro-farms. According to that Decree, the basic rules for the management of cattle farms are laid down, as well as the maximum production capacity, which is fixed at 850 times. However, they announced that farms exceeding this limit before the entry into force of the Royal Decree could maintain their production volume, but not increase it. Lorea Flores has denounced that the cowboy’s proposal goes “against the law” and that “this company has always acted like this, has first increased and then asked for permission”.

The platform explained that the owner of the macro caseta presented “four fractional projects to facilitate the expansion of the facilities”, “7,900 breeding cows, 2,172 calves under one year and 1,300 heifers, with a total of 11,372 heads”. It is confirmed that the individualized registration of projects “underestimates the cumulative and synergistic impacts on natural resources”. They call on the Environment Department to "halt the processing, prepare a joint environmental impact assessment study and publish it".
