Ruining Spain’s reputation
After a prolonged battle, where in the end both the European Commission and the European Parliament had to become involved, the association Abusos Urbanisticos NO (AUN) has forced the Valencia government to present a new law replacing the ill famous LRAU.
The proposed new law is called LUV. We shall leave the comments on the law to the association. The first impressions on the law text are not very positive.
The LRAU dates from 1994, but most of the abuses have taken place over the last 5 years, when the promoters have been scrambling to find new plots for their promotions.
The AUN has been informing the government since 2002 on the abuses, and asked that the law be replaced and a moratorium placed on any new plans based on this law.
The Valencia government has used 3 years for a new law proposal, that probably will not take effect before next year. In the meantime many new plans are being presented based on the perverse LRAU.
Spain has lost much of its reputation as a safe place for foreign investment. The responsibility does not lie with the AUN or the victims, but exclusively on the side of a government that has not reacted in time.
