The Govern, the PP and the left-wing partieshave reached a definitive agreement that shields the restrictions in the areas classified as floodable. classified as flood-prone areas, a measure that will prevent both the realization of works and new constructions or legalizations. According to negotiation sources, this consensus reflects the intention to maintain a rigorous approach to avoid risks in these areas.
A consensus with no room for flexibility
Although the Govern’s initial draft did not contemplate the possibility of carrying out works in these areas, the agreement reached with the political forces reaffirms this position, seeking to prevent potential damages derived from extreme weather phenomena. The same sources have confirmed that the prohibition includes any type of construction or attempt to legalize existing buildings.
The decree will be one of the highlights at the meeting of the Consell de Govern this Friday and, if approved, will be transferred to the Parliament for debate and foreseeable validation. The abstention of the left-wing parties in the Parliament will facilitate this process, following the commitment of the PP not to support the repeal of the law of democratic memory promoted by Vox.
A regulatory framework under review
In addition to the decree on flood zones, the Consell de Govern will also approve a text that will correct the amendments introduced by mistake during the plenary vote on November 26. These amendments, presented by Vox, had received the accidental support of the PP, generating the need for a legislative adjustment. The new legal framework seeks to consolidate legal certainty in these areas, while simplifying certain administrative aspects. However, the prohibition to carry out works remains one of the most controversial points of the text, facing criticism from owners who claim the need to intervene in their properties for maintenance or improvement reasons. With this agreement, the Govern reaffirms its commitment to prevention and sustainable development, prioritizing the safety of people over the particular interests of construction in risk areas.
