" The Prestige Muxia put on the map ." Nick of zero as the largest environmental disaster in Spain the only thing that matters , a decade later, is to squeeze the tourist revenues formidable international publicity brought the gigantic tide black . and the rest , " that's that ," says Felix Porto , mayor of this small town on the Costa da Morte barely 5,500 inhabitants dawned November 14, 2002 with the threat of an old tanker adrift and spitting fuel .
There is at least "apparent" trail of tar , "nor any impact " on fisheries resources . " It also ended a while for us economic and legal issue," he stresses. " Everyone here took aid or compensation , early in exchange for subrogation claims in the State , which is litigating ." Hence , in part, " apathy " to the macro trial ended this week in A Coruña. "It's not a media issue that concerns people ." Fraternities and inhabitants of the Costa da Morte during the catastrophe reacted differently from Rias Baixas , who presented themselves as other charges in the trial form . However, Muxia, as in the rest of Galicia, predominates " widespread belief" that is not going to be useless : "They are not in the dock all that should be , the government which turned a accident catastrophe mismanagement ", says Porto .
Socialist councilor Muxia commenting indignant " pantomime " of a trial " that was delayed nearly eleven years." "It is shameful that there is a true penal consequence for decision makers that cost us billions of euros that came out of pocket for all Spaniards." Porto , as the vast majority of Galicia , is convinced that sooner or later there will be another marine casualty " was again without know what to do ." Sentencing scheduled for the eleventh anniversary of the disaster not provide answers , promises , or set a precedent for " you have protocols with cover art " to establish what to do with a tanker in distress. " We are not free of another disaster like the Prestige because we greatly influences the human factor , and there will always be mindless return to paint black the coast." Measures such as a large tugboat acquire or out of Finisterre coast corridor through which pass thousands of ships were taken . But there's no emergency plan emphasizes the mayor, and even goes to the Xunta returns with drafting a contingency protocol . " If it happens again , then do the same with the Prestige : throwing phone to try to mobilize all you can and trust that charitable souls you a hand ."
Although Felix Porto believes " will be very difficult to repeat " the huge white tide of solidarity that erupted with thousands of volunteers. " Without them it would be impossible for the coast as it is today ," he remarks . And said that " despite the atrocities and ignorance of some, today 100% of the citizens and Muxia Costa da Morte feel an immense gratitude to the white tide of civil society that knew replace government incapable of dealing hide what was happening . " Is aware that ten years ago , was also Muxia news because its then mayor, Alberto Blanco, PP , volunteers would take the coast even when swimming in the fuel . And it had the backing of neighbors instead of Never Again preached a ' Máis Outro " by substantial aid for unemployment paid for months that the Executive Aznar. But Porto insists that the brotherhood of Muxia "knew assume the institutional role of the City " in that fight against fuel and gratitude towards the volunteer has no cracks , ten years later.
The Prestige also took its toll in politics at ground zero . Although indirectly . In the municipal elections of 2003, when the tar was still fresh on the beaches , the PP swept the Costa da Morte . "It was amazing to see the national news programs open with the results of Madrid , Barcelona and Muxia " recalls Porto . But four years after the leader of the PSOE became mayor because " the ravings of speculation " that attaches to his predecessor. The Prestige became the Costa da Morte " a benchmark" both inside and outside Spain , which fired the tourism and construction. "People realized that the previous PP mayor tried to turn in a small Muxia Marbella" , a project of 2000 flats in front of the sea. And "so lost" in 2007.
Porto says at least in their locality was contained urban bum . All local and tourist hopes are now focused on the national parador , the great promise of the Aznar government in compensation for the disaster. " Hopefully a salutary lesson , is already under construction, but it was an ordeal to get it for ten years." The mayor stressed that the city has spent years paying the credit for purchase for 500,000 euros , the spectacular sun sea walk hosted by the hotel complex . Meanwhile, "the State , which was the debtor with us, did not put a penny ." The much desired highway to connect the peninsular region of Finistère with A Coruña, another major government promises, stop takes two years. No deadline for completion.
