A lawsuit has been filed aiming to assess the pollution from large farms from a fundamental rights perspective.
The lawsuit accuses the Xunta of Galicia and other institutions of inaction regarding the severe pollution caused by intensive livestock farming.
Scientific studies attached to the lawsuit support the neighbors' complaints about damage to their health and quality of life.
Industrial farms have turned As Conchas into one of the most polluted reservoirs in Spain.
The administrations have not exercised control over already authorized farms, nor have they stopped authorizing more.
Conclusion: The lawsuit revives concerns about large farms and reaffirms that economic or political interests should not justify practices that endanger the lives and quality of life of citizens.
