Another six months of “cover” for those who invaded, destroyed and appropriated plots coast, beach, forests and streams provided by the Ministries of Environment, Finance and Development.

With an amendment introduced Monday night in Parliament, the demolition moratorium is extended for the third time. arbitraryintroduced a year and a half ago.

In fact, in the explanatory note to the amendment, the state expresses its sympathy for tourism enterprises illegally encroaching on coastal areas and beaches, stating that if their illegal buildings were demolished and removed from the occupied territory … “they would not have sufficient alternative opportunities.”

The extension, the third in a row, was filed as an amendment on Monday evening to the draft law of the Ministry of Civil Protection on the creation of an air search and rescue mechanism. FROM regulation until March 9, 2023, suspension of the execution of protocols on the demolition and administrative expulsion of objects built on the coast, beach, shore, coastal zone, reservoir, bottom and subsoil of the bottom of the sea, lagoon, lake and navigable riverbed, without a decision to grant them to use.

An amendment in Parliament extends the grace period for arbitrary offenses until March 9, 2023.

The rationale is broadly the same as the previous three (the original and two expansions). The state claims that “freeze” demolitions (finally appointed) offenders or the expulsion of offenders from public land is necessary to allow “the necessary time, given the delays that the pandemic entails in the long term, to smoothly carry out legalization processes and streamline projects of all kinds”, although legalization or regularization is arbitrary on the coasts , beaches, etc. is expressly prohibited.

However, he has an interesting option when the state … expresses its concern for the future of those who destroy and exploit public property:

“Among other things, the demolition and eviction will now create barriers for numerous stakeholder groups (tourism companies, etc.) to focus their activities on projects built on the seafront, on the beach (etc.) and would not have had an adequate alternative after the demolition and administrative expulsion.”

The government’s decision perpetuates the illegal encroachment and exploitation of the public and common good. In addition, the promise of legislative regulation creates among illegal immigrants the expectation that the existing situation will continue.
