Puerto Sotogrande confirms that the "dense black humareda" was caused by a safe burning of rust and controlled at all times by the Civil Guard on nearby agricultural plots... the exact place of this action that at all times had sufficient security measures, were located between the polo field and the Highway 340 and took place outside the Sotogrande Sports Port

LAST TIME: NOTE REFERRED TO BY THE SOTOGRANDE PORT DIRECTIVE

On Monday, March 13, it was published in the afternoon in a media media in the Campo de Gibraltar, a news in which it was alarmed by a fire that never happened in the Varadero de Puerto Sotogrande with the holder of "A dense black smoke cause alarm in the Urbanization Sotogrande" and in which it was indicated that in the same "it burned fuel fiber and other oil products in what, according to 112, it has been a burn controlled by the Civil Guard in the area of the Varadero del Puerto de Sotogrande."

It must be made clear that what really happened was at all times a burning of rashes controlled by the Civil Guard and with all the security measures outside the port facility, the same took place in the agricultural plots that are located between the polo field and the Highway 340. In fact, it was such the security deployed that there was no even fire presence as a controlled burn. "If it had been a fire, the firefighters would have acted, which at no time was made and even did not receive any warning calls or social alarm about it."

In this way, we have to make it clear that the news published in this regard is totally false, with the aggravating fact that it was not properly contrasted at any time with Varadero or with the Control Tower of the Sotogrande Sports Port, or even by moving a special envoy from the newspaper to the area in question to verify this information "in situ."

In fact, the news in a sensationalist way manifests without verifying the information or with Puerto Sotogrande as has already been indicated, neither with Guardia Civil or Firemen, a "risk to the population" with "unpredictable consequences taking into account the toxic composition of the burning fuel," and then declaring the "fate of not having been injured," associating it at all times to the port facility, when none of this occurred as clear and can be corroborated by both Civil Guard, Fire or 112 Health Emergencies.

For this reason and assessing the lack of veracity of the information given in this news that is not signed by any journalist, the media that has published this false news is to be informed, that protected by Organic Law 2 / 1984 of 26 March, which regulates the right to rectification, that this right is exercised and that they publish the facts as they really did to avoid it, precisely the social alarm they themselves indicate in the news itself.
