Environmental groups in Camp de Tarragona, a region in southern Catalonia, recently marked a decade of activism. They celebrated with the 'Festa pel Territori' (Festival for the Territory) in La Selva del Camp, according to Diari Catalunya. This event took place as public concern about new energy projects in the area grows.
Organisers used the gathering to highlight the ongoing need for local decision-making regarding regional development. "We must have debates to decide from the territory what we want to produce and what role the south of the Principality has in relation to the rest of the world," a spokesperson stated.
Local Control Over Energy
The celebration underscores a consistent theme for these groups: the importance of local communities having a say in large-scale energy developments. Over the past ten years, activists have campaigned against various projects, advocating for sustainable practices and greater environmental protection across Camp de Tarragona.
Looking ahead, the groups plan to continue their work, focusing on ensuring that future energy initiatives align with local needs and environmental goals.
