"Nunca Máis", human chain for Galicia

The GOB has organised a Human Chain in solidarity with those affected by the oil slick from the Prestige on the Galician coast and so that such an ecological disaster with its serious economic and social consequence should not happen again "Nunca Máis". The event will take place next December 9 in the Passeig del Born de Palma.

The movement intends to remark the following: solidarity with the Galicians and particularly those affected, indignation for the lack of foresight to avoid accidents such as this, a protest for the lack of fast and effective action and for the lack of coordination, and a call for urgent measures for environment recovery and to help the families affected by this disaster.

The public of the Balearics and Pitiüses who cannot participate in this event on Monday and all those who wish can make a written note of their solidarity with the Galicians by joining the virtual human chain proposed by the GOB with collaboration from BalearWeb.

Full information about the ecological disaster on the Galician coast can be found in the special "A negra sombra do Prestige" of the electronic publication Vieros. Meanwhile the Xunta de Galicia inform about the subject on the web "Información sobre o verquido provocado polo petroleiro Prestige". Information can also be found on the webs of Greenpeace España, WWF/Adena and WWF/International. Other interesting webs are A marea negra do Prestige by the University of Vigo and A Castastrofe do Prestige by the Asociación para a Defensa Ecolóxica de Galiza (ADGA).
