Departments International Issues Military explosions shake sections of Vieques At the January meeting of the Resotation Advisory Board (RAB) that meets periodically with representatives of government agencies and the company (CHM2Hill) in charge of the clean up, the CRDV and the RAB’s community members unanimously demanded the detonations stop. Despite the demands of the community that for over a year has argued for the cessation of the detonations until an adecuate monitoring system can guarantee that military toxics dispersed into the air from the explosions are not getting to the civilian sector of Vieques. Governor Anibal Acevedo Vilá ordered the President of the PR Environmental Quality Board – during a meeting with Vieques community leaders on 26 January – to inform the Navy that he supports the community’s position. However, today’s detonations indicate a total lack of respect by the Navy toward the Puerto Rican government and/or the lack of vigorous measures on the subject by the Governor. |
