Green groups denounce Junta de Andalucia’s mining plans

CONTROVERSIAL mining plans announced by the Junta have been denounced by green party EQUO and the European Green Group at the European Parliament.

The plans involve creating new quarries and the reopening of quarry sites previously closed by Andalucia’s High Court.

But action is now being taken at the highest European level to counter the plans and clarify alleged ‘irregularities’.
