Letter to the residents of the Assemblies of the PUA to us want to take the hair while the city will take the land ... When installed - nearly five years ago - On the political agenda of the city's need for an Environmental Urban Plan, many failed to understand this need and only what they interpreted as a simple opposition to the building height in residential areas of Quilmes. Unfortunately Villordo management and - so far - the Gutierrez administration, prioritized this type of business under the fallacy: "That is development."
Today we see, with regret, how heritage is lost, the city traffic has become chaotic, the services are poor health and poor public education, the nocturnal uncontrollable, poor hygiene, environment temperature in a total helplessness etc. All this is clear evidence that the lack of planning would inevitably problems can now only some unsuspecting surprise when he sees the fight between neighbors for the few remaining green spaces in the city.
While these painful events happen, the Mayor, the Department of Public Works (Roxana González), the Secretary of Environment (Claudio Olivares), the Legal and Technical Secretary (Walter Di Giuseppe) only deal to lay a red carpet the multinational Techint to their negotiated landing on the banks of Don Bosco, Bernal and Ezpeleta, thus becoming true "luxury occupy" an area unique in its flora and fauna that should be preserved and public use.
That area is now protected by ordinance as marginal forest, passed - among others - by Migliaccio and Otamendi Jose council, now conspicuously on the sidewalk opposite, ignoring the arguments put forward at that time.
The role of this forest and wetlands that make up is to mitigate the pollution we receive permanent residents.
These days the project that aims to "check out the banks" and thus allow the project Techint (much more in keeping with the Menem era) has a free hand, is in the city council, its chairman - Councillor for the Frente for Victoria J. Migliaccio (Ezpeleta neighbor) - aims to adopt soon, with just a few days of analysis. In this period - this project would bring to the area some 100,000 people between residents, workers and visitors - must be addressed, analyzed, studied in at least four committees. We will see very carefully who the council members who support this nonsense. Whoever does that will be buried their political future, and that will validate the biggest bargain in the history of the city. A negotiated U $ S 1,700 million, tinged with all the suspicions imaginable.
The neighbors must be part of this discussion. And let very clear our position on this issue. We want the bank to become a protected reserve, which would provide education and recreation of the neighbors and - above all things - no longer the green space it is today.
Viewing the city today, only Urban Environmental Plan made by all together is what will allow review, approve and participate in the design of the city in which we live.
