A plan to expand irrigated farming around one of Europe’s most important wetlands has alarmed conservation scientists and European officials.
Local political considerations seem to have prevailed, however. In May, Spain will hold municipal elections, and many observers see the proposal as a bid by Andalusia’s government to win support from farmers. “It’s a populist idea,” says Fernando Valladares, an ecologist at Spain’s National Museum of Natural Sciences.
Andalusian lawmakers are moving quickly to finalize the new law. But both European and Spanish leaders are warning there will be consequences if they move ahead. On 20 April, EU Commissioner for the Environment Virginijus Sinkevičius said it would use “all means available” to ensure that Spain abides by the 2021 European court ruling. The European Union could impose fines or even withdraw promised economic aid. Meanwhile, Spain’s center-left prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, has urged Andalusia to “get back on track with European law” and “stop this outrage.
Even if the bill is finalized later this year, Valladares predicts it will do little for farmers. “There’s no water available,” he says. “It goes against all evidence.”
