Deputy Minister of Environment Eleuterio Martinez said that even if the Chamber of Deputies approves a bill legalizing the sale of areas within the National Park of the East, the Ministry would not authorize any construction within the park. Earlier, the Ministry's director of protected areas, Manuel Mateo Feliz warned about plans to exclude areas that are part of the National Park for tourism projects and would not benefit the community of Boca de Yuma, as the legislators argue.
The controversial bill has the support of the following deputies:
PRSC: Sergio Antonio Cedeno De Jesus, Ramon Ricardo Sanchez De la Rosa, Guido Cabrera Martinez, Carlos Jose Ramon Martinez Arango, Victor Orlando Bisono Haza, Radhames Castro, Roberto Ernesto Feliz Feliz, Carmen Mirelys Uceta Velez, Remberto Arturo Cruz Rodriguez, Cesar Enrique Gomez Segura.
PRD: Eugenio Cedeno Areche, Bernardo Sanchez Rosario, Luis Ernesto Camilo Garcia, Aquiles Leonel Ledesma Alcantara, Victor Luis de Jesus Lasose Figueroa, Lucila Leonarda De Leon Martinez, Hugo Rafael Nunez Almonte, Pablo Adon Guzman, Jose Altagracia Gonzalez Sanchez, Wagner Manuel Jose Mosquea, Juan Benito Reyes Brito, Manuel Alberto Sanchez Carrasco.
PLD: Felix Antonio Castillo Rodriguez, Maria Cleofia Sanchez Lora, Plutarco Perez, Mauro Pina Bello, Ramon Antonio Cabrera Cabrera, Hugo Fernelis Fortuna Tejeda, Radhames Fortuna Sanchez, Santiago Vilorio Lizardo, Radhames Vasquez Reyes, Juan Antonio Perez, Juan Gilberto Serulle Ramia, Ramon Dilepcio Nunez Perez, Jose Casimiro Ramos Calderon, Jose Acevedo Trinidad, Carlos Manuel Pena Batista.
Monsignor Fabio Mamerto, president of the Catholic Church's National Pastoral Environmental Council, has joined the chorus of voices rejecting a bill approved by the Chamber of Deputies that affects the limits of the National Park of the East as established under Law 202-04. The news involving the park was first reported on Friday and has since provoked widespread rejection from both the public and private sector. The controversy is over the purchase of lots Nos. 92-H, 92-N, 92-P and 92-Z in the municipality of Boca de Yuma. Claims indicate that companies Fulcasa S.A and Playa Verde del Caribe C por A and subsequently Stratstone Real Estates S.A., violated local laws in the expectation that Congress would change the legislation to validate and legalize their investments. Mamerto says that "institutionalism needs to be respected and where it doesn't exist it needs to be created." Mamerto is urging legislators who are in favor of selling off the protected lands to reevaluate their positions for the benefit of the country.
