Technical Report: 4.3 Million Overvaluation

BUDGET AUDIT: A forensic analysis detects a 35% overvaluation in the project. Inflated prices and a serious duplication in waste management billing that would cost us millions of extra euros.

Simulation Analysis: Who will need pumping?

TECHNICAL SIMULATION: Given the lack of official data, a software simulation reveals that 25% of plots (about 100 families) will not be able to drain by gravity and will have to assume pumping costs for life.

Meeting Chronicle: Closed-door pacts and financial risks

A meeting that began behind closed doors between the Mayor and the President. A unilateral request for a €150,000 credit policy that we will all guarantee and a "curious technical coincidence" benefiting only the President's plot are uncovered.

Vote to not lose everything

"The City Council supports studying cheaper and safer alternatives, but the Board accelerates with an extraordinary call full of irregularities that leads us to a financial risk we cannot assume."

Summary of ACA Meeting: Alternatives and €60,000 cost risk

The ACA confirms that bio-purifiers can be viable, while the cost of the collector, added to pumping systems and defaults, could shoot the figure up to €60,000.

Collective reflection: how and why we must make decisions together

"The question is inevitable: Are we really prepared to manage a project of this magnitude, as individual neighbors?". With the testimony of our neighbor César.

A blank check for incompetence: The phantom pumps scandal

How is it possible to approve a millionaire levy without knowing who we might flood? No one has quantified the homes condemned to perpetual pumping.

Radiography of a project without democratic legitimacy

Why Santa Maria de l’Avall is at the gates of an unprecedented institutional conflict. Minimal participation, millionaire figures, and decisions made behind the neighborhood's back.

The hidden vices no one tells you about

If your house is lower than the collector: it means pumping water for life. A letter that puts figures and faces to the comparative grievance that dozens of homes will suffer.

A work that threatens to break our lives

We cannot allow our urbanization to be subjected to years of construction works again. A letter that gives voice to daily fear and an uncertain economic future.

Two oligarchies and an opportunity

Two oligarchies talking to each other while neighbors remain on the sidelines. 100 votes for 15 urbanizations are 3,000 votes. A crude reflection on representativeness and opportunity for change.

The work that opens trenches in the ground... and cracks in coexistence

In Santa Maria de l’Avall something broke a long time ago. A very human look at how a technical work can fracture the peace of the neighborhood and trust between neighbors.
