Jacqueline Irlès is the mayor of Villeneuve de-la-Raho (Pyrénées-Orientales) Opponents are preparing legal complaints, notably for embezzlement and favoritism. There is also opposition from scientists to this golf project.
The project includes a golf course and also a real estate program of six hundred housing units. But the project is implemented today and all operations are carried out legally, Irlés says. The area would have been entirely concreted if not for the project, she says.
