Now the Consell de Formentera recognizes the obligation to dismantle the beach bars.

Not only the concessionaires of the beach kiosks have been left on the ropes after the strong reports -both technical and legal- that proposes the expiration of the concession granted by the Conselleria del Mar y Ciclo de Agua del Govern: the Consell Insular de Formentera is also in an uncomfortable situation due to the complicities of the Sa Unió government team revealed by the documents and advanced by La Voz de Ibiza of the contest under suspicion.

• Neither Plan B nor express bidding: beach bars in the air for 2026 in Formentera

• Formentera’s ways to avoid a summer without beach bars

For this reason, it has now taken an almost surreal change of position: it recognizes the obligation to dismantle the beach bars for a month, despite the trickery and gimmicks it deployed last winter to avoid such a procedure, which is found in the Coastal Regulations, the concession title and the bidding specifications.

From the Consell have advanced this week to this means that from the Conselleria de Medio Ambiente has been transferred to these businesses to comply with the order to be dismantled on January 15.

Meanwhile, the Councilor for the Environment, Verónica Castelló, said in the last plenary session that “for days they have also been notified reminding them that the concession title establishes that from January 15 to February 15 they must be dismantled -not start to dismantle, but be dismantled-, and they should also remember that this was signed in the contract, that when they signed the contract it was already stated”.

This stance runs counter to Sa Unió’s attempts to rig to avoid such an obligation.

• The report that reveals the complicity of the government of Sa Unió in the Consell de Formentera with the concessionaires of the beach bars.

• A legal report of the Govern proposes to expire the concession of the beach bars of Formentera.

At the time, the Consell -already chaired by Óscar Portas and with Castelló as head of the Environment- bowed to the position of the concessionaires of the beach lots and the report of the owners, considering that considering that “dismantling the facilities would imply a damage for Formentera and that it does not fit the objective of the competition, which is precisely to alleviate the deseasonalization”.

From the Consell argued at that time that “since 2013 the beach kiosks also had the obligation to be dismantled because they had temporary authorizations that were extended to perform the activity during the winter. Reason why the Consell de Formentera requested that in the current competition the enabling title was an administrative concession, which would mean not having to dismantle“.

In addition, they based their request on the fact that it did not detail which months were set as the season. “Yes, reference is made to the fact that the establishments have to be dismountable, but in no case that they have to be dismantled every year,” they pointed out.

• Demolishing report: Formentera’s beach bars on the ropes

However, the negative response of the Govern “denying the precautionary measures for this year” left no doubt: they had to dismantle. left no doubts: they had to dismantle.

In addition, in its clear connivance with the beach bars, granted a derisory fine of 1,500 euros for failing to comply with the dismantling during 2025 -a proposal that came from the mouths of the concessionaires themselves-, despite the fact that the technicians of the Govern considered that this is a serious offense and that it is a serious fault and that it is entitled to termination termination of the concession.
