Español:Un subsecretario tuvo que recibir protección policial luego de ser confrontado por los manifestantes furiosos por la Coalición planes de privatización de los bosques de propiedad pública. Mark Harper, el diputado conservador por el bosque de Dean, fue atacado por los manifestantes cuando salía de una reunión pública donde había estado defendiendo los planes del Gobierno de la silvicultura liquidación. Fue una lluvia de huevos por los manifestantes, que también atacó la camioneta de la policía para tratar de evitar que él iba. Harper acusó a un número de objetores de estar “empeñados en la violencia” y comparó a una “mafia aullido”. La reunión pública, que tuvo lugar en Coleford en Gloucestershire en la noche del viernes, se han dado a la coalición una visión preocupante en la creciente ira ha provocado la consulta de los bosques. Una Tory MP ya ha advertido de la venta masiva podría ser “momento encuesta fiscal» del Gobierno. Bajo las propuestas del gobierno, los bosques del patrimonio, como El Bosque de Dean, el más grande de Inglaterra, bosque de encino, la cara de ser trasladados fuera de la propiedad pública y se colocan en las manos de un fideicomiso de caridad. los bosques comerciales, actualmente a cargo de la Comisión Forestal, podrían ser vendidos a empresas privadas, tales como la tala y las empresas de energía. Alrededor de 150 personas llenaron la reunión en la biblioteca de Coleford, mientras cerca de 300 más se vieron obligados a permanecer fuera debido a la falta de espacio. Decenas de policías tuvieron que ser redactados en mantener la paz. Los manifestantes en alto pancartas declarando “que el bosque de Dean siempre ser libre ‘y en la cola durante más de dos horas para meterse en la biblioteca. El tema ha encendido las pasiones en el bosque. El mes pasado, 3.000 personas marcharon a través del bosque en señal de protesta. Durante la reunión de dos horas, el Sr. Harper fue interrogado varias veces sobre la consulta. En un momento, una joven advirtió el Sr. Harper: “Es nuestro bosque y queremos mantenerlo y por qué queremos vender?” Harper, que tiene una mayoría de 11.064 en un asiento que estaba del Trabajo de 1997 a 2005, dijo a The Sunday Telegraph: “No creo que había alguien allí que había llegado junto a escuchar lo que tenía que decir Ellos [. ya] tenía una visión. “No tengo ninguna queja al respecto. Sin embargo, fue decepcionante que había gente fuera doblado sobre la violencia. Tuve que salir con una protección policial y la gente tiraba cosas a la camioneta de la policía. Fue una turba ladridos.” Sr. Harper insistió en que la consulta fue sólo eso – y que las opiniones del público se escuchó. Sin embargo, dijo que valió la pena “tener un debate democrático acerca de si las organizaciones distintas de la Comisión Forestal podría ser más adecuado para poseer y administrar los bosques. La disputa por la privatización de los bosques – reveló por primera vez por The Sunday Telegraph – es cada vez más problemático para la Coalición. Los conservadores de tres y cuatro Lib Dem diputados votaron con los laboristas en un debate forestal oposición la semana pasada. Otros siete diputados Coalición se abstuvo, mientras que otros con los grupos con grandes extensiones de bosques de propiedad pública y las mayorías escasas mantenido al margen del debate. Ayer, otro diputado conservador se presentó a denunciar los planes del Gobierno. La Dra. Sarah Wollaston, diputado por Totnes, en Devon, dijo: “Es evidente que el público está muy preocupado y no quieres que la liquidación que pasar. “No he tenido un componente de escribir a mí en favor de las propuestas del Gobierno.” Un proyecto de ley se presentó en el Parlamento, que faculta a la Secretaría de Medio Ambiente para disponer de tierras actualmente administrado por la Comisión Forestal. Diputados a salir en contra de la eliminación de los bosques incluyen Zac Goldsmith, Richmond Park MP y ambientalistas más prominentes del partido Conservador. Sr. Goldsmith, quien encabezó el grupo de política ambiental, David Cameron, cuando los conservadores estaban en la oposición, pero votó en contra del gobierno durante el debate de la silvicultura de la semana pasada, dijo que las propuestas “fue demasiado lejos”, y agregó: “Lo que no está claro para mí es la razón por la las propuestas han de ser tan radical “. Caroline Nokes, uno de los dos diputados conservadores en el New Forest contra de los planes, dijo: “Se trata de proteger nuestros bosques para las generaciones futuras. “No hay garantía de que los grupos de la comunidad será a la altura o lo desean. Mi temor real es que estos bosques terminarán cargar de nuevo a los consejos locales, que no tienen los recursos para cuidar de estos bits de los bosques. “Estoy a favor de la disminución del estado, pero esto es demasiado grande y demasiado. Votaré en contra de ellos en esto.” Julian Lewis, quien representa a New Forest Oriente, culpó a los asesores no electos de la política que describe como: “las chispas brillantes que idearon esta basura sobre la privatización de los bosques”. Y agregó: “El país está abrumadoramente en contra de ella.” Tim Farron, el presidente de la Dem. Lib y MP de Westmorland y Lonsdale en el Distrito de los Lagos, desgarrado una copia de los Organismos Públicos de ley de reforma que prepara el camino para la eliminación de los bosques. Insistió en las propuestas que habían sido fuertemente diluido después de Lib presión de Dem, pero todavía era votar en contra de ellos. Y agregó: “Las propuestas han pasado de ser horrendo que tiene sentido, porque nadie va a querer comprar la tierra.” La protesta contra la privatización de los bosques ha atraído a más de 450.000 firmantes de una petición en línea dirigida por el grupo de campaña de 38 grados. Una carta de protesta contra el vender y firmada por personalidades como el Arzobispo de Canterbury se publicó hace dos semanas en The Sunday Telegraph. La carta describe la liquidación como “mal concebida” y “desmesurado”. En su blog publicada ayer por Jonathon Porritt, que ha asesorado al Príncipe de Gales en el medio ambiente, denunció la ola de ventas. Él escribió: “Una combinación de la creciente preocupación pública, más y más grupos de acción local, y una súbita comprensión por parte de los demócratas liberales, e incluso algunos conservadores que están en un escondite para nada con esto, me dice que este campaña es eminentemente puede ganar. ”
English:A junior minister had to be given police protection after being confronted by angry protesters over Coalition plans to privatise publicly-owned forests. Mark Harper, the Conservative MP for The Forest of Dean, was attacked by protesters as he exited a public meeting where he had been defending the Government’s plans for a forestry sell-off. He was pelted with eggs by protesters who also attacked the police van to try to prevent him leaving. Mr Harper accused a number of objectors of being “bent on violence” and likened them to a “baying mob”. The public meeting, which took place in Coleford in Gloucestershire on Friday night, will have given the Coalition a worrying insight into the growing anger its forest consultation has provoked. One Tory MP has already warned the sell-off could be the Government’s ‘poll tax moment’. Under government proposals, heritage forests such as The Forest of Dean, England’s largest oak forest, face being transferred out of public ownership and placed in the hands of a charitable trust. Commercial forests, currently run by the Forestry Commission, could be sold to private companies such as logging and energy businesses. About 150 people packed into the meeting in Coleford’s library while about 300 more were forced to stand outside due to a lack of space. Dozens of police had to be drafted in to keep the peace. Protesters held aloft banners declaring ‘let the Forest of Dean always be free’ and queued for more than two hours to squeeze into the library. The issue has ignited passions in the forest. Last month, 3,000 people marched through the forest in protest. During the two-hour meeting, Mr Harper was repeatedly quizzed over the consultation. At one stage, a young girl warned Mr Harper: “It is our forest and we want to keep it and why would we want to sell it?” Mr Harper, who has a majority of 11,064 in a seat that was Labour from 1997 to 2005, told The Sunday Telegraph: “I don’t think there was anybody there who had come along to listen to what I had to say. They [already] had a view. “I have no complaints about that. But it was disappointing there were people outside bent on violence. I had to leave with a police protection and people threw things at the police van. It was a baying mob.” Mr Harper insisted the consultation was just that – and that the public’s views would be listened to. But he said it was worth ‘having a democratic debate’ about whether organisations other than the Forestry Commission might be better suited to own and manage forests.
The row over the forest privatisation – first revealed by The Sunday Telegraph – is proving increasingly problematic for the Coalition. Three Conservatives and four Lib Dem MPs voted with Labour on an opposition forestry debate last week. A further seven Coalition MPs abstained while others with constituencies with large tracts of publicly owned woodland and slim majorities steered clear of the debate. Yesterday, another Tory MP came forward to denounce the Government plans. Dr Sarah Wollaston, MP for Totnes in Devon, said: “It is apparent that the public are very concerned and do not want the sell-off to go through. “I have not had one constituent write to me in favour of the Government’s proposals.” A bill is being introduced through parliament which gives the Environment Secretary power to dispose of land currently managed by The Forestry Commission. MPs to come out against the forest disposal include Zac Goldsmith, Richmond park MP and the Conservative party’s most prominent environmentalist. Mr Goldsmith, who headed David Cameron’s environmental policy group when the Tories were in opposition, but voted against the government during last week’s forestry debate, said the proposals “went too far”, adding: “What is not yet clear to me is why the proposals need to be so radical”. Caroline Nokes, one of two Tory MPs in the New Forest against the plans, said: “This is about protecting our forests for future generations. “There is no guarantee that community groups will be up to the task or want it. My real fear is that these forests will end up loaded back on to local councils, who don’t have the resources to look after these bits of woodlands. “I’m all for the shrinking of the state, but this is too big and too much. I will be voting against them on this.” Julian Lewis, who represents New Forest East, blamed unelected advisers for the policy describing them as: “those bright sparks who thought up this rubbish about privatising forests”. He added: “The country is overwhelmingly against it.” Tim Farron, the Lib Dem’s president and MP for Westmorland and Lonsdale in the Lake District, ripped apart a copy of the Public Bodies Reform Bill which paves the way for the forest disposal. He insisted the proposals had been heavily watered down after Lib Dem pressure but he was still voting against them. He added: “The proposals have gone from being horrendous to pointless, because no one will want to buy the land.” The protest against forest privatisation has attracted more than 450,000 signatories in an online petition run by the campaign group 38 Degrees. A letter protesting against the sell off and signed by such dignitaries as The Archbishop of Canterbury was published two weeks ago in The Sunday Telegraph. The letter described the sell-off as ‘ill-conceived’ and ‘unconscionable’. In his blog posted yesterday Jonathon Porritt, who has advised the Prince of Wales on the environment, denounced the sell-off. He wrote: “A combination of growing public concern, more and more local action groups, and a sudden realisation on the part of the Lib Dems, and even some Tories that they are on a hiding to nothing with this one, tells me that this campaign is eminently winnable.”
