The member of the Parliament of Catalonia Josep Rull, together with the CiU councilman of Gavà City Council Xavier Alavedra, has visited AVV Gavà Mar. During the meeting Josep Rull has committed himself to pressure the Parliament of Catalonia in order to find solutions.

On May 27th, 2005, Josep Rull kept his word by presenting the following two excellent questions to the Parliament of Catalonia about two facts that really concern us: the irregular air operations and the stance of the ‘Departament de Medi Ambient’ (Department for the Environment of the Catalan Autonomous Government) in the ‘CSAAB’ (Supervisory Commission).

Answer of the Minister: Joaquim Nadal (June 16th, 2005)

About 150 neighbors from Gavà Mar took part in a demonstration at the airport for the sixth time, during which we represented a picnic at the terminals. We keep demanding the routes in writing.

The following day the radio stations and all the written press reported news on this demonstration. For the first time, TV3 did not show any images of the demonstration in any of its news bulletins; however, it broadcasted images of other demonstrations that took part on the same day but with fewer participants. This is the letter of complaint we have sent them:

“With regards to your consultation by e-mail, we inform you that the ‘Síndic de Greuges de Catalunya’ has three open proceedings related to the disturbances generated by the third runway of the El Prat airport; one by request of the Gavà City Council and the other two by request of the neighbors. The ‘Síndic’ has asked the Administration for information and as soon as we have a resolution regarding this issue, we will make it public.”
