Environmental organizations will hold this Monday, at 5:30 p.m., an informative talk prior to the hearing of the cause for the dredging of the Riachuelo stream, in Corrientes. They foresee the participation of the environmental lawyer Enrique Viale.
He is a specialist in environmental law who in 2004 founded, along with other colleagues, the Argentine Association of Environmental Lawyers. Viale works as a litigation lawyer in numerous causes for environmental damage and recomposition, and travels both the country and Latin America accompanying citizen and assembly struggles.
He was a legislative adviser in the National Senate and is currently a socio-environmental consultant and columnist in different media.
The meeting will be on Monday at Espacio Mariño (Santa Fe 847, Capital). While the hearing will be held the following day, Tuesday the 15th from 9 o’clock in the Civil and Commercial Court No. 8 of the city of Corrientes (July 9 No. 1099 – 4th floor).
The judicial hearing next Tuesday has the purpose of executing the sentence of the amparo action presented by citizens due to the environmental damage caused by dredging works in the Riachuelo.
The officials of the Correntino Institute of Water and Environment (ICAA) must answer for these grievances. According to the sentence, the dredging works of the Riachuelo, which began on July 25, 2018, had a great impact on the environment and on the San Cayetano Provincial Park.
The company ECODYMA SA, hired by the Provincial State, carried out the works without an Environmental Impact Assessment and several environmental conservation laws were violated. The complainants insisted that the affected area continues to show damage, and to date the ICAA has not assumed its responsibility.
The judicial hearing will be crucial to determine the execution of the sentence and seek comprehensive reparation.
