DEFENDING THE LAW (VL)
Rafael Blasco, the Conseller for the Territory stated recently that the newValencian land laws that are set to replace the existent LRAU, are "scrupulously in line with the directives of the European Union." TheConseller added that the Syndic de Greuges - the Valencian Ombudsman - had completely agreed with his point of view in that the new law guarantees the rights of the small landowner and corrects the errors of the LRAU. However, the Valencian Socialists have tabled a motion opposing the passing of the new law and will propose the introduction of their proposals for land reform. The Socialists are also opposed to the Valencian 'Golf Law'. Both these new laws are set for debate in the Valencian Parliament later this month.
(Comment: It is manifestly NOT true that the proposed LUV is any more in accordance with EU law than the LRAU. It makes no reference to any EU law or norm, just for openers. Sr. Blasco has been doing his utmost to ensure that a deal is done with the opposition parties in the Valencian Legislature just so that anything coming out of the EU Parliament or the Commission will be sidelined in advance. ( Fortunately, so far, the Socialists are shunning these hamfisted blandishments.) And I doubt very much that the Sindic de Greuges would agree that his concerns have been met. CVS)
