Below is a copy of a letter from an AUN member to Seprona (the environmental department of the Guardia Civil). This letter is copied with the writer´s permission and the person hopes that being shown here it will encourage others, who are concerned at the destruction of the Valencian countryside, to also communicate with the office of Seprona.

Dear Sirs,
What a pity that the politicians seem more interested in making money than they are in protecting the irreplacable beauty of the countryside.
The plans approved by the Council in Parcent in the Val de Pop in Alicante province are typical of the short term attitudes of these politicians. These plans, approved by the council under the aegis of the LRAU law two days before it was replaced, will allow some 1400 odd houses to be built in this, one of the most beautiful areas left on the eastern seaboard of Spain. The fast profit, at the expense of the owners of the land, outweighs, in the eyes of the politicians,developers and builders the loss, for ever, of the peaceful tranquility of 'the campo'. The visual impact will be dreadful, but it seems, all is permitted in the name of the almighty profit.
When will we see an ordered process towards economic stability instead of this headlong rush to deprive all our future generations? Some day the politicians will realize that it is the beauty of Spain which attracts foreign settlers and tourists alike and this continued rape of the countryside will only serve to diminish the attractiveness which draws the money in the first place.
Please enforce your powers before it is too late!!!
