The Municipality of La Plata filed a complaint with the Justice regarding the illegal use of land in the El Pescado stream wetlandwhile also prompting a criminal action against those who violated the closures imposed by the Misdemeanor Court.
As reported by the Commune, the presentation seeks the immediate suspension of all the constructions that are currently underway in the area of Parque Sicardi declared as “heritage preservation” according to current regulations. Likewise, it requests that any person with an interest in said properties be made aware that “they must refrain from carrying out any type of act on it” and requests both the restitution of the properties and the immediate removal of the works.
On the other hand, it requests the official release of the Police to guard the place and intervene in the event that irregular occupation attempts are resumed, and also to the EDELAP company, so that it refrains from supplying energy service to the purpose of preventing illegitimate settlements.
According to what the judicial presentation says, the offenders were identified both as a result of neighborhood complaints and controls and operations carried out by the Municipality of La Plata. The occupations are located from 18th to 20th streets between 670 and 671 and also from 18 to 19 bis between 670 and 671.
“The works, occupations and tasks carried out by third parties are irregular, which leads to their immediate stoppage, suspension as removal of what was built and/or modified in the zone/area under their sole responsibility and cost,” says the text presented by the Legal and Technical Secretariat.
“We cannot ignore the fact that the El Pescado stream wetland has a heritage value of the utmost importance for this Commune, since it obeys environmental issues as well as recreational and educational issues of vital importance for all residents of the city,” he adds. .
In parallel, the Commune also filed a criminal complaint for disobedience against those who violated the closures ordered by the Justice of Misdemeanors, a criminal offense whose sanction goes up to a year in prison.
“Although they were notified of their irregular conduct, progress continued,” the presentation explained, adding: “From these inspections, it was possible to confirm works that were 100% executed and inhabited without the corresponding permits.”
