They create the 'Zaldunborda Gelditu' platform in Hondarribia with the aim of putting the environment at the center of the city model.
- Traders, neighbours and environmental groups in Hondarribia have created a platform to stop the Zaldunborda Mega Outlet project. It has been presented on the City Hall’s stands on Thursday morning.
Several agents have gathered forces on the slopes of Mount Jaizkibel, with the motto Higertoki S.L. The mega outlet village, the size of the 12 football fields projected by the company (30,000 square meters), is expected to deteriorate the life and city model of Hondarribia.
The project includes 100 outlet stores, 36 hospitality establishments and 11 gas station suppliers. In addition to the Bidasoa Valley, they have denounced that it will have a decisive impact on the citizenship and services sector of Gipuzkoa, Navarra and Lapurdi. In fact, this commercial project plans to attract more than 5 million customers. And this, in addition to supposing an average of 11,000 additional journeys per day, along with the pollution that will bring unsustainable mobility, will be located on the green corridor between Jaizkibel and the Aiako Harria Natural Park.
According to traders, if the Zaldunborda project is carried out, it will mean the end of most of the shops of the zona.Segun have reported sources of the platform, have met with the mayor, Txomin Sagarzazu. And this has made it clear to them that the project is going to go its way. And let the municipal government respect it, given that it is going to create about 2,000 jobs from the point of view of employment.
In the meantime, the mayor of Hondarribia, Txomin Sagarzazu, has recognized that the work carried out by the company Higertoki S.L. during the summer in the Alto de Zaldunborda were carried out "without permission".
Abotsanitz, the citizen platform, denounced these facts in the Ertzaintza. According to the citizen platform itself, a report by the municipal architect acknowledges that the company overcame the authorization to carry out some surveys and that in this area of 100,000 square meters, the cleaning of trees and scrubs, landfills and shattering at the margins of streams did not have an environmental report.
For all these reasons, "the mayor has decided that these works are clandestine" and has opened the corresponding file against Higertoki for violation of the Basque Law of Land and Urbanism (LTH). The company faces a fine of between EUR 500 and EUR 5,000. Sagarzazu, for its part, has given Higertoki the possibility of legalizing these works within a period of one month "to request a license on tree stems and landfills". Abotsanitz has also criticized that the mayor has given the company the opportunity to legalize the works being carried out.
