The Popular Parliamentary Group has registered a Proposal no of Law in the Congress of Deputies in which the Government is urged to require the Executive of the Basque Country to debug responsibility for the situation and management of the accident at the Zaldívar landfill, as well as analyze jointly the events to face the technical and legislative corrective measures that serve to prevent similar events in the future.
The Sanchez Executive is also requested to make available to the Basque Government the necessary means to ensure the quality of the air, soils and water of all areas of the Basque Country affected by the accident, that the Ministry of Ecological Transition safely monitors the management of landfills and the control of the waste that is collected in them, and that develops, guaranteeing the competence framework, a state evaluation and monitoring plan for each and every one of the landfills in Spain.
In addition, it is requested that the State Attorney General's Office carry out the appropriate investigation, and if evidence of criminal significance is evidenced, proceed to its prosecution, formulating the corresponding complaint to that effect.
For the Popular Group, it is evident that the instruments of control and monitoring of the landfill activity, the competence of the Basque Autonomous Community, have failed resoundingly, and that the Government of Spain did not exercise the corresponding environmental supervision.
In the statement of reasons for the GPP initiative, signed by its spokesman, Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo, the deputy spokesman Guillermo Mariscal, the deputy by Vizcaya Beatriz Fanjul, and the deputies César Sánchez and Paloma Gázquez, which is considered especially necessary now is to establish the coordination mechanisms to immediately make effective the rescue of the bodies of the disappeared workers.
