Salvemos Mojacar suffers a blow

Environmental groups fighting for the removal of the controversial Azata del Sol hotel in Carboneras were dealt a tough blow after the Constitutional Court ruled that there have been no violations of fundamental rights. 

Salvemos (Save) Mojacar had claimed that a previous ruling declaring the hotel legal had breached human rights by not delving into the substance of the issue, namely that the construct is built within 100 metres of the sea and within the Natural Park Cabo de Gata. 

The scene is now set for a Strasbourg showdown at the European Court of Human Rights as the ongoing saga, which has attracted international notoriety, continues.
