n 2007, construction began on a “City of the Environment” in Soria, Spain, in a protected natural area where ancient trees were uprooted overnight. For more than 15 years, the buildings sat empty in a flood-prone zone. Then a court ruled: it’s legal “because it’s already built.” @elsaltodiario met two activists who fought for 20 years to stop this project., exposing how a government spent hundreds of millions on an environmentally destructive project. This video is part of our monthly “Periphery” series.
