The never ending story with Canada

Canada has won again. There was no doubt about the result because it was like a Dream Tema match against Andorra. This time I was playing at home and the annual meeting of NAFO, the multilateral organization that regulates fishing in international waters of the Atlantic, ended with the usual: another reduction in halibut, which is already at a minimum, and a slight improvement in cod, good news for the Spanish fleet, but it also benefits Canada. The halibut that can be caught in 2025 is barely a tenth of that caught by the Spanish/Galician/Viguese fleet 30 years ago, when the fishing ground was discovered. The success was such – the fish is sold frozen as lemon sole – that Canada cast its eyes on some waters near Newfoundland and what came next is part of the black history of this city, coinciding in time with the packinghouse conflict. in Guixar. Both mishandled, both lost. An external one, against Canada, which ended in a complete defeat that is reflected year after year in the NAFO summits, where the European delegation goes out to look for a draw in the best of cases. The previous one was held in Vigo and things were somewhat better, although Canada continues to pull the strings. As for internally, another disaster: a war in Teis caused by enormous fake news that time put in its place: a few days ago, the company Sogama announced a strong investment to expand its Guixar plant so that in 2025 it can manage the organic waste (the brown container). And indeed, there were no rats or seagulls or massive pollution. Several buildings have even been built around the “packing plant” and even the Free Trade Zone is trying to develop the Jesuit area. Also without success.
