What is happening? The digital colonization that nobody tells you about.
The “cloud” hides a material and destructive reality. It is a bubble of out-of-control mega data centers. It is devouring Spain. Aragon is the main area being sacrificed.
These infrastructures require a lot of energy and water, occupy fertile land, and generate little local employment or tax revenue. The profits are lost, while we pay the ecological and social costs.
The Government of Aragon has granted Amazon PIGA status. This allows them to expropriate land, rezone land, avoid taxes and deadlines, with little public participation. It is a law tailor-made for multinationals.

RTVE program on the impact of data centers
What have we done? Civil society is rising up.
In response to this outrage, a broad alliance—Ecologistas en Acción Aragón, the neighborhood movements TuNubeSecaMiRío and No a los centros de datos Aragón, university researchers, the UNESCO Chair in Sustainable Human Development, and other associations—has filed the first contentious-administrative appeal by Spanish civil society against a data center project. We have already exhausted the avenue of appeals (with the support of seven organizations) without success. Now, our only tool is the justice system.
What are we going to do? A lawsuit that could make history.
We have filed an appeal with the High Court of Justice of Aragon (TSJA) to overturn Amazon's illegitimate PIGA. This would not only stop five new megacenters in Zaragoza, Huesca, Villanueva de Gállego, El Burgo de Ebro, and La Sotonera, but it would also set a crucial legal precedent for the entire country, a barrier against the speculative data bubble.
We are represented by Fons de Defensa Ambiental, lawyers who are experts in environmental law. We don't have Amazon's millions, but we do have knowledge, reason, and determination. We need your support to pay for this legal battle.
What do we need? You are the key piece.
The minimum cost to maintain this appeal is €7,300. This covers essential legal expenses.
Every extra euro will be a victory:
- If we exceed the goal, we will allocate the funds to scientific expert reports on the environmental impact.
- And we will allocate funds to new litigation against the wave of data centers and the vulture funds that drive it.
Help us today! Donate to defend Aragon and set a precedent throughout Spain. Make your contribution and share this campaign: your action is decisive.
Contribute by participating and sharing. Spread the word about this campaign on your social media and tell your family and friends. Join the defense of Aragón and many other territories against a predatory model.
Together we can show that organized citizens can stand up to the giants. Let's not let them write the rules to suit themselves!
Este proceso está siendo coordinado por Ecologistas en Acción, TuNubeSecaMiRío, No es sequía es saqueo Aragón, Observatori DESCA, la Cátedra UNESCO de Desarrollo Humano Sostenible y más organizaciones!

Feliz de poder apoyar una iniciativa que frene la expropiación de recursos y orgullosa de quienes la impulsan ¡Que siente precedente!!

Sabemos algo de la compra de pisos de Amazon en Huesca ?
Alberto José
¡Adelante! Hay que pararles los pies
Carlos
Que no nos engañen! Gracias por la iniciativa! Aragón no solo para datos y energía! Aragón es mucho más,nn
Javier
Hola, gracias por el trabajo que realizáis. Estos centros de datos son una aberración, que además sólo potencian el poder de grandes tecnológicas, cuyos intereses cada vez son más oscuros. Por cierto, no necesito el fanzine personalizado con mi nombre, si queréis en todo caso enviar el estándar en digital. Ánimo y ojalá paremos esta locura.

Aragón no es mercancía en manos de políticos y empresas de Silicon Valley.

Molta força.

Esos megacentros son el símbolo de la deriva hacia donde va la sociedad y el medio ambiente con la especulación sin medida
Juan
Ánimo!

No somos conscientes del poder que tenemos. Hay que plantar cara a los sátrapas que solo se mueven por poder y dinero. Les importa un pimiento el planeta y las personas. Adelante con esa causa y gracias por la iniciativa.

No es necesario que me enviéis información. Gracias.

Ánimo! Contra el saqueo de nuestro territorio!

Gracias por la iniciativa. Desgraciadamente mi hermano trabaja como ingeniero para estos centros terribles, me falta información y conocimiento para poder debatir con él sobre el tema, así que agradezco mucho si me pueden hacer llegar los materiales para poder argumentar cuando hablo con él sobre el asunto. Él está empezando a creer que el cambio climático no existe, le están lavando el cerebro claramente. Es durísimo para mí. Gracias infinitas por poner esto en marcha.
Luis
Renuncio a la recompensa

Aragón no rebla!!

Animoooooo y gracias por luchar!!!!!
