Editorial: El País

  • 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.
