The court gives the green light to the'mascletà' in Madrid. The pyrotechnic event, which will cost 46,000 euros, will detonate 307 kilos of gunpowder next to the Manzanares River.
This was decided this Friday by the Contentious-Administrative Court 8 of Madrid after having studied the appeal presented by the animal shelter Salvando Peludos. The appeal presented focused on two arguments. The environmental damage that could be caused to birds, fish and other animals in a renaturalized area and the obligation of the administration to protect the Casa de Campo.
