Cs bets on the mine so that young people do not have to leave Cáceres.The Ciudadanos (Cs) candidate for the Presidency of the Junta de Extremadura , Fernando Baselga , has shown, in an act held in Cáceres, his position in favor of the lithium mine in Cáceres so that young people can apply for a job and They can stay to live in their city . Baselga, in statements collected by the Europa Press agency, recalled that the orange formation supported this mining project in the Sierra de la Mosca of the capital of Cáceres since the beginning of the legislature "because it is also a project that is not only from Cáceres, it is a project of all Extremadurans and it is a project of Europe".
In addition, he has indicated that the initial open pit mine project has been modified for one in underground galleries, "with which the contamination will be practically minimal", the candidate said in statements to the media in Cáceres before meeting with businessmen together with the candidate for mayor, Francisco Piñero . Baselga has stressed that Cs will support the mine "as long as all the legal requirements are met", something that he takes for granted since in some meetings with the promoters of the mining project they have communicated this to the candidate, who considers that this business initiative "It will be a tremendous boost for Cáceres."
"I ask people who are not a party to think about their children, to think about their grandchildren, because in the end they will be able to stay and live in their city and I think this is essential and it is what the majority of the people of Cáceres ", he underlined . Likewise, he has indicated that he understands that there are people against it but has recalled that "even the mayor himself, who at first seems to be against it, and the Popular Party, have seen that this is the future. And to deny the future is to deny a reality that is necessary for Extremadura ", has sentenced.
"I bet on Cáceres because I believe that Cáceres has a great future with the lithium mine, it will have a lot of synergy and, surely, Cáceres in the next ten years will be the economic explosion of Extremadura together with Navalmoral", he underlined. Thus, Baselga has highlighted that businessmen are a fundamental part of the development and life of Cáceres" and with the current governments "they are a species to be extinguished" since they have to suffer the bureaucracy of the administrations and the obstacles to start up a business and then do not have support to maintain it, such as the lack of new technologies and connections that favor their competitiveness.
