A year and a half after the eruption, the new volcano of La Palma and its flows remain an unprotected territory. The bulldozers that open new roads are destroying lava emission points associated with volcanic tubes that are "unique in the world" A team from the Geological and Mining Institute (IGME-CSIC) that was going to study one of these points discovered that the excavators had opened a track passing right in the middle.
There is little more than a week left for the regional and municipal elections. The approval of the law that will reorganize the territory after the volcano will not be approved until after the elections.
