\t\t\t\t\"\u00d6lbohrungen1\"<\/a>Berlin, June\u00a02014. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Summarized by Volker Boehlke based on articles by \u201eEcologistas en Acci\u00f3n\u201c, translated by Pia Ditscher.<\/p>\n

On June, 5th 2014 the international \u201eDay of environment\u201c, five big nature conservation associations (Amigos de la tierra, Ecologistas en Acci\u00f3n, Greenpeace, SEO\/BirdLife and WWF) came together in Madrid to point out the problems resulting from oil drillings. The protest was induced by the decision of the Minister for the Environment to permit the oil drillings off the Canary Islands<\/strong>. With their protest the organisations want to support the planned demonstrations<\/strong> at the Canaries and all over the country for the following weekend.
\n<\/p>\n

A lot of attendance in the protests<\/h2>\n

\"Proteste<\/a><\/p>\n

Numbers of participants in the demonstrations on June, 7th 2014:<\/p>\n

\u2022 35.000 people on\u00a0Lanzarote.
\n\u2022 25.000 people on\u00a0Fuerteventura.
\n\u2022 More than150 people on\u00a0La Graciosa.
\n\u2022 1.000 people on\u00a0La Gomera.
\n\u2022 1.600 people on La Palma.
\n\u2022 300 people on\u00a0El Hierro.
\n\u2022 65.000 people on Tenerife.
\n\u2022 80.000 people on Gran Canaria.<\/p>\n

To clarify, most inhabitants of the Canary Islands are on the same side concerning this issue. That is also due to the critical fact that this permit has been given right after the elections. Furthermore, the assessment of environmental effects doesn\u00b4t match even minimal requirements. The Supreme Court has been asked to grant the objections of the environmental associations. Furthermore, the government has been asked to respect the public opinion.
\nAs a reply to the assessment of environmental effects presented by the stake holder Repsol, the Ministry of the Environment published a study called \u201eDeclaraci\u00f3n de impacto\u201c as well, which is the base for the government\u2019s decision. This study is highly criticized since the ministry estimates the risk of an oil spill a hundred times lower than the calculation of a public survey centre has revealed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What next?<\/h2>\n

After the approval of the royal decree (which allows the oil drillings) by the Spanish supreme court, Ecologistas en Acci\u00f3n announces further protests. More inconsistencies will be revealed and reported. The Canarian government will be pushed to execute a referendum (popular vote).<\/p>\n

In the last meeting of BEN MAGEC on Tenerife, advocate Javier D\u00edaz Reixa described the situation after the rejection of the remonstrance against the royal decree: In his opinion, the hope to stop the oil drillings lies in politics: Thus, the peoples\u2018 protests are the best and most effective form of pressure to stop the oil drilling. So the next steps are 1) exemplifications of an oil spill at the beach of Las Teresitas and other beaches, 2) a \u201ebalconada\u201c, where people will put banners against the drillings on their balconies to express their opinion.<\/p>\n

A survey published by \u201eEuropapress\u201c already shows a clear result after one day: 85,44% of interviewed persons were against the oil drillings, because they are an obvious threat for the environment. In contrast, 14,56 % think that the oil drillings can be an enrichment in the energetical development. By the way, stakeholder of the Repsol-project is RWE DEA (with 20%). RWE DEA already wanted to withdraw from the project in past years.<\/p>\n
