The news has been received from reliable sources, which have been officially reported to them by the Directorate of Environmental Assessment of the Spanish Government. The platform says it has confirmed the arguments that have supported the decisions since 2011 and that the lack of funding of arguments in favor of infrastructure has been highlighted.

In recent years, many initiatives have been taken to achieve this decision: Some 14,000 appeals have been made to the project, more than a hundred municipalities have approved motions against the construction of the project and have organized numerous popular consultations.

It is not the first high-voltage line that they manage to stop, since in 2011 they also managed to cancel the Vitoria-Muruarte line. However, the leaders of the Spanish Energy Network believe that they will present a new project instead of the one that they have withdrawn, indicating that they have already started the work to oppose it.

From the platform they criticize the fact that the Government of Navarre has not made a statement on the subject in the last two years and ask the government to commit to supporting the municipalities and citizens affected.
