The Dispute With The Los Haitises Cementera

The dispute with the Los Haitises Cementera We have seen the great coverage it has generated controversy and the installation of a cement plant in the vicinity of the Parque Nacional Los Haitises. Clear arguments of great weight with people in public life have been expressed both for and against the cement. Since parrots Ahiequeprende.com not want to be what he says each of the groups. It is our duty to investigate, and that's why I write this first entry, the first of a series that will have to deal with your help, to discover what really lies behind the installation of the cement. The first argument is that it sounded Cementera land was in the National Park Los Haitises. The cement is not within the protected area but within the area is called "The Haitises", ie it is the geomorphological characteristics that make so important to this region. The area in total is between 1.600 and 1.800 km2 square kilometers, but under effective protection within the national system of protected areas, ie what is called Haitises National Park, has about 826 km2. So the argument that the cement is in the National Park falls by default. But why the insistence to do in Los Haitises? Why there? Luis Carvajal, president of the Environmental Commission of the UASD, mentioned as Act 64-00 provides that if an investment with severe environmental impacts, such as the cement can be done in another place, involving less risk to the environment and natural resources, then you choose another location. This reinforces the question of why the insistence to do in Los Haitises. There are several answers that need to be confirmed. One of the most relief is that the Government owes a high sum of money to the construction of the cement company, Consorcio Minero Dominican, whose chairman is Manuel Estrella (Steel is the same Star of the Caribbean and VP-CRC, a power in Santiago). Another argument is circulating that behind this there is an intention to give value to land in the area for real estate. These hypotheses are credible and meaningful. But not just that, think a bit more, ask a little more. What book are relatively large near the cement? The Santo Domingo-Samaná highway. Why build this road? Why was cut by half and the Los Haitises planting project Induspalma (of Mercasa of Bonetti, the family of the administrative secretary of the presidency)? The road was opened and is not completed, is dangerous because it has no lighting, no drainage, it is very flat and there are areas where land is still crowded. Is there any relationship at all? Is there a link Bonetti-Star (whether commercial, family, real estate) that has facilitated the degree of fitting to be

sensed in the way it has been approved this project? These are only the first questions that let in air. We undertake to investigate, in the coming days and continue writing on the subject. If anyone has answers, please write to [email protected] together to help us investigate this issue that affects our environment.
