The rebellion of several councilors for the Algarrobico breaks the local PSOE after years of legal and political conflict

The article discusses a political conflict within the local PSOE branch in Carboneras, Spain, over the controversial 'Algarrobico' building. The PSOE regional leader, María Jesús Montero, instructed local councilors to support the annulment of a 2003 license that allowed the construction of the building, which was later deemed illegal. Only two of five councilors followed this directive, leading to disciplinary action against those who resisted. The dispute has involved years of legal battles, with the Supreme Court ruling the project illegal. The local PSOE leadership, including current mayor José Luis Amérigo, has been accused of defending the building despite its violations of environmental protections. The case highlights internal divisions within the PSOE and broader implications for urban planning and environmental law.
