"The project was granted preliminary approval by a prior government in early 2013 but has since faced stiff local opposition with between 3,000-5,000 people reportedly rallied against Salamanca in June, soon after the People's Party government was ousted following a no-confidence motion over corruption concerns."

So the feeling is BKY acquired the site through corruption and dodgy deals, but where is the evidence? Surely that would be out in the domain by now.

"Local cattle ranchers are concerned stigma associated with the mine will kill their industry, and there are concerns radioactive material could contaminate local water supplies."

They were not concerned a decade earlier when the site was state owned, perhaps manufactured opposition?

"The Socialists are also aiming to close Spain's aging nuclear plants when they reach their end of life at 40 years of age."

Yes when I did some research on Spanish Nuclear plants I was surprised at their age and lack of investment in keeping them upto date.

However where will Spain gets its energy from as we go carbon neutral, will renewable green meet demand?

You will be plugging into the French Nuclear grid.

Besides which BKY are free to sell the mined Uranium on the open market, China and USA for example.

Im sure what BKY have done and are attempting to do is not against the law, unless your government is now the judiciary.

This may well end up in a european court, I doubt they will find in your favour in all honesty.

The soup tastes good, old delightfulla is a treasure for us all to dip our bread in.

"The government will wait for the ongoing proceedings to go through but it will say no,"

" The Turkish lira initially fell because of the issues between Erdogan & Trump"

It actually started back in 2013!

Having been in Turkey for both the 1980 and 2016 military coups, I do have some experience of the country.

Was it 2006 if memory serves me right they knocked the zero's off their currency.

The lira has always suffered with inflationary issues, in fact state workers often missed out on being paid on time, currency devaluation is in their history.

"The Company has established a good neighbour and business partner relationship with the local community. In addition to the creation of 450 direct jobs, and up to 2,000 indirect jobs in a community hard hit by long-term unemployment, the Company is actively supporting local businesses and the activities of local municipalities."

You have still not clearly stated why you are against the mine other than it being an Anglo Commonwealth entity,

Would you object to the mine if it was a Spanish Government entity and state operated?

(At least Ariana's share price didn't fall today....even if sterling did...again!)

You trade the markets, if you feel little England is finished and Brexit will financially hit your investment portfolio then sell up now.

As a proud little Englander I still support a full unconditional withdrawal out of the eu no matter what the outcome.

In fact the Turkish lira has taken such a hit against the dollar too and if you think Sterling will go the same way, why wait get out now and don’t take the hit in your portfolio.

Do they drive Hyundai’s in Alabama too?

Just to set the record straight, anyone in these shores who is for the eu, I consider them traitors and should be hung for treason! Anyone from outside these shores interfering with our fight for Independence and Sovereignty I consider an enemy combatant.

As for shooting flies with your gun in Texas, well USA is probably one of the most hated countries in the world.

" In fact, one of their leading lights is closely involved with BKY"

Could you please share with us his name?

Ha Ha go lick the soup bowl, as if we would tell the likes of you that.

Oh a Holiday Inn, they tend to have flowered curtains.

I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when you pulled on the petals of one of the flowers to draw the curtains then jumped into bed.

Did you keep it to yourself you were travelling at an average speed of 67mph in your Hyundai or share that news, oh how I’d love to have been that fly on the wall if you did.

Re. Ford Mustangs, you just don’t get British motoring.

We revolutionised motorsports by going lighter and nimble with aerodynamics.

Admittedly we made a bit of a mess with commercial car production.

I’m a little curious, on your avg 67mph trip to Dallas did you stop at any hotel, motel, holiday inns?

Don’t worry easyp, the uranium will remain in the ground and demand for it in ten years will be high.

By then there could be a totally different political landscape, the virtue of patience required here.

Hey Concorde nose, I challenge you to a charity boxing match, up for it?

You are an uninteresting narcissistic bore.

As for pedigree, you drive a Hyundai, at an average speed of 67mph as well.

There was no opposition to the mine when it was state owned.

I’m confident Berkeley Energia will commence operations there, it’s inevitable.

Contrast this to the shares I own in AAU who mine in Turkey, their government have issued permits and lowered tax and the local labour market benefits..

The French will want uranium from somewhere to power their nuclear grid.

When the soup runs dry I’ll stop riding on your hobby horse!

Things are a little slow on here,

But let’s us know :-

Left hand or right hand?

matnotanToday 07:54 Plus lack of knowledge about what the EU is...

Oh care to share what the eu is then?

Hang on Spain is nothing more than a region within the eu,

Soup turned to mud?

The election was the expected outcome.

It is going to take a decade to sort this one out, the economics of it will dictate so.

Spain will take nuclear electricity from the French grid and what can they trade for that?

I really enjoyed this guys analysis of the current political situation in Spain.

- perhaps I do get a bit grumpy a times. No hard feelings I hope Paul..

None taken I came to the conclusion this whole situation had become farcical.

I love Spain and I have been to many nice places there and enjoyed many a good holiday in Ibiza over the years.

Its so sad to see it being politically pulled apart.

Its so sad to see the Omans invest all those millions to be left in limbo, can you imagine what that has done for inward investment for the future of Spain. It really isn't a good place to invest in is it.

On the surface we all thought in the eu safe jurisdiction, sensible climate policy adherence, large cash injection thus what can go wrong.

The moment the socialists get in with their romantic notions and ideals, assumptions are made and the concept of the free market is frowned upon.

Lenin had nine rolls royces whilst the rest waited nine years for their cars.

flundra Today 13:08 I know it's Italian, but in soup terms, I think we're talking Minestrone at the moment. No set recipe, whatever's around, and can be thrown together. Hope it turns out to be a good

Broxburn68Fri 18:32 Paul, maybe the soup gag has run it's course now.

Since Broxy started this thread I was not going to mention soup.

My feelings are this nuclear energy hating guy is just being used as a pawn, maybe if the mine was regionally state owned then the permits would have already been issued?

flundra, machiavelli indeed as the only conclusion to be made is that the electorate of Spain have voted for devolution and the formation of regional assemblies.

See my comment above city states within regions of the eu, this vote has confirmed that this is what the people want.
