This project has been authorized by the Department of Environment and Hydraulic Works of the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa and approved by the Department of Economic Promotion, Rural Environment and Territorial Balance, and has been unfavourably reported by the Directorate of Natural Heritage and Climate Change of the Department of Environment, Territorial Planning and Housing of the Basque Government.

Nor have the resources against the natural groups of Gipuzkoa, mountain associations, municipalities, Aranzadi Zientzia Elkartea, the Gipuzkoa Mountain Federation and the Quebrantabones Foundation been taken into account, among others.

On the occasion of the commencement of the works and the location in the court of the piste project in front of Intzentsao Saltarri, on the section up to Goroskintxu, our associations have lodged a new complaint with the Environment Prosecutor’s Office for the following reasons:

- Manifest violation of Environmental Analysis Legislation. The fragmentation of the runway project is a clear fraud of the law and an infringement of the applicable rules. Thus, according to this regulation, the first draft of new tracks (between Intzentsao and Saltarri, which was carried out until Goroskintxu), which together with the current project should be subject to regular and strategic environmental assessment, but was not carried out.

- Failure to comply with Directive 92/43 on natural habitats and on fauna and forest plantations. This draft does not meet the requirements of the European Directive on the following points:

There is a path to the slums with the same tools that this project intends to offer, as well as a path or mountain path that can be used on foot or by bike.

The maintenance of livestock and pastoril activity for grassland conservation does not depend specifically on this track.

While the project's promoters focus on the maintenance and improvement of pastures, in Aralar there are some bushes that have been filled with shrubland, although they have proper roads. We believe that nowadays it is not possible to properly analyze this issue because there is no planning of the Aralar pastures, although the decree of the KBG de Aralar does determine it.

Access to the slums that could benefit from this project has no insecurity for people.

- The EIA (Environmental Impact Study), if we suspected it existed, confirms the deficient use of this route: 5 vehicles/day on average between the week and 7 vehicles/day weekend in May to November, 1-2 vehicles/week for the rest of the months.

- With regard to the Law on the Conservation of the Waters of the Basque Country (Decree 1/2014 of 15 April), the Director of Montes and the Natural Environment (responsible for the breach of the law in Gipuzkoa) has not promoted a single protective action related to this law in Aralar, if the projects have to take from the bowels of 16 gorosti, Ilex aquifolium, and taxcata They do not deserve any mention of the OEI.

- The works are also causing the loss of land prohibited by the PORN of Aralar (Natural Resources Management Plan) and violates the Environmental Impact Study. In particular, 80% of the proposed route (over 2km) runs through protective mountain, where significant production restrictions apply, for which the regulations set limits on grazing and prohibit any activity affecting the movement of land.

- The construction of the runway will cause irreparable damage to the Aralar Archaeological Heritage.

- The DFG and other departments of the Basque Government have shown a critical view of the project (currently under way):

The Natural Heritage Directorate of the Basque Government is opposed to this project. Despite having full competence in the Natural Park, the EIA does not analyze or mention it, so we consider it illegal.

For its part, the Department of Culture of the DFG has pointed out that the opening of the sierra to the traffic of Aralar and the joint analysis of all the projects of Aralar mentioned above recommend its consideration, which is why it is not favorable.

- The fact that with the attitude favouring the fragmentation of the projects mentioned have been agreed against the law of the different institutions of the Provincial Council, is not the result of the lack of knowledge, but of organized planning and with a prevaricating attitude.

- The attitude of some departments of the Council, instead of presenting the Strategic Environmental Impact Study, initially approving the Simplified Environmental Impact and taking into account some of the obvious damages they are now assuming, is that the second project, once approved the corresponding Infrastructure Plan, can be approved with an ordinary environmental impact study, is not a decision taken in any way, but a malicious and pre-variant consensus.

The complaint of alleged violation of regional planning and the environment, as well as of an alleged crime of prevarication, the approval of the project at an Extraordinary and Urgent Meeting of the Commonwealth of Enirio Aralar, in which the members of the Recruitment Bureau have been designated as a representation for the award, as well as the initiatives necessary for the contracting and the power of minor contracts of control and follow-up: Jon Zubizarreta Aldaya (mayor and independent of Abaltzisketa), Iñigo Olano San Sebastián (councillor and independent of Altzaga), Ainhoa Zuriarrain Etxaniz (councillor of Amezketa and representative of EH Bildu), Aloña Urretabizkaia Mendizabal

In addition, for the same reasons, this complaint was lodged on behalf of the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa: D. Jose Antonio Asensio Bazterra, Deputy for the Environment; Mrs. Monica Pedreira Lanchas, Director of Environment; Mrs. Arantxa Ariztimuño, Director of Natural Environment and Mountains.
