The Minister of Territorial Policy, Manuel Miranda, informed a parliamentary commission that each of the 51 objections presented to the bill for the expansion of the Cumbre Vieja Natural Park will be answered individually. The next step will be to obtain a report from the legal services of the Autonomous Community before submitting it to the Governing Council.

Miranda anticipates that the document, after passing through the Consultative Council, will be sent to the Parliament of the Canary Islands before the end of the year, a deadline that socialist deputy Alicia Vanoostende considers "very optimistic".

The minister stressed that the file is "very advanced" and acknowledged the difficulty of "seeking a balance between environmental and landscape protection and satisfying the needs of people who lost their homes and agricultural holdings." He assured that work is being done with "scientific rigor" and in coordination with the Cabildo of La Palma and the municipalities of the Valle de Aridane.

Vanoostende expressed concern about the delay in delimiting these protected areas, noting that the public exhibition period ended 40 days ago. She recalled that, once the law is approved, the Cabildo of La Palma will have to modify the management plan of the Cumbre Vieja Natural Park, which dates from 2001 and is "quite restrictive".

The socialist deputy called on the Government of the Canary Islands to pay compensation to the owners of protected plots and asked if the reconstruction of the LP-2 road would be affected. Miranda replied that, as far as he knows, the works on the LP2 are enabled regardless of this delimitation.

In the same commission, the minister announced that the update to the Land Law, in force since 2017, is expected to enter Parliament next month. Socialist deputy Rafael Nogales criticized "headlines and unfulfilled declarations" in the last three years, while municipalities suffer from "significant legal uncertainty".

Nogales pointed out that the Government of the Canary Islands has approved four emergency decrees "tinkering with the current law," some with negative reports from the Consultative Council, and lamented the lack of a "clear roadmap for territorial and urban planning".

Miranda sent a "message of tranquility" to the municipalities, assuring that the decrees "seek immediate solutions to real problems" and do not generate legal uncertainty. He explained that these measures, which will be included in the law, simplify procedures, reduce burdens, and facilitate compatibility between territory and economic activity.

Regarding the territorial model, Miranda defended that the 2017 Land Law is "ambitious" but requires updating due to social changes and evolving jurisprudence. He admitted that the work is being done "without haste and through dialogue," although "not with the speed we would have liked".
