The residents of Oville, through the Montaña Limpia Platform, redouble their opposition to the silica mines in their town and that of Valdecastillo. This territory already has an exploitation of this material in operation and, according to the residents, another company intends to reopen another mine in Oville to commercialize this material. This information reaches the inhabitants through the mayor of the municipality in 2021, and since then they begin to organize to confront this possibility. At the moment, information about this new mine is trickling in.
Despite this, Montaña Limpia de Oville, fed up with their claims falling on deaf ears and not receiving a response from the institutions, once again shows their disagreement with the mining projects and denounces “the ecological attack” that “the mines of silica in the open air».
The platform, unhappy with the Boñar City Council
The strategy of the citizen platform has changed in the last year. If last summer they demanded the help of public bodies, as reported by leonoticias; Now, Montaña Limpia Oville goes on to the ‘attack’ and points out with names and surnames those he considers responsible for the mountains of León becoming a “desert”.
«The mayor of the Boñar City Council -Pepe Villa (PSOE)- does not give a damn about the assessment that the FAO has made of the Montes de León, that the area that they want to reopen is an obligatory passage for bears, that it has deviated the course of the waters with their sediments to other valleys or that their streams are contaminated”, the environmental group commented harshly in a letter.
Along the same lines, the platform wonders «with what face will the politicians, and especially those of the PSOE, present themselves in the town during the next elections? What other lies will they tell?
«More debris and more dynamite»
For Montaña Limpia Oville, the opening of a new Silica mine means more “dumps, clearings, dynamite and dust holes.” An activity that, in his opinion, involves “irrecoverable mountains.” The citizen platform asserts that “it is more profitable for the company responsible for the mine to pay sanctions than to repair the mess.”
Finally, those responsible for the platform inform leonoticias that they have already begun a legal process with the hiring of a law firm that intends to “clarify” the project of this supposed new silica mine, as well as “stop” its implementation in case of to be approved by the administrations.
