Diputats britànics proposen fer un aeroport al Pakistan

Al·leguen que busquen facilitar els viatges pels seus electors de la comunitat britànica pakistanesa.

Alguns diputats presentant l’iniciativa

Xarxes socials

Un grup de 20 diputats del Regne Unit fan campanya per construir un aeroport a Mirpur, Pakistan. La iniciativa publicada a News Hub Group pretén facilitar els desplaçaments per a la nombrosa comunitat britànico-pakistanesa amb vincles a Mirpur. Actualment, els viatgers s’han de desplaçar per carretera durant més de tres hores per arribar als aeroports més propers.

Els diputats van fer una presentació en públic del projecte i van donar a conèixer una carta conjunta que han enviat al president del Pakistan. En aquesta carta, expressen el seu suport a la construcció d’un aeroport a Mirpur i demanen formalment al govern pakistanès que impulsi el projecte.

Debat sobre l´ús dels diners públics

El moviment ha provocat polèmica dins i fora del Parlament per l’ús que es preten donar als diners del contribuent britànic. Els crítics no veuen lògic que les comunitats amb vincles internacionals promoguin construir infraestructures a l’estranger.

Oposició a ampliar Hethrow

La proposta ha generat debat, ja que alguns dels diputats que donen suport a la construcció de l’aeroport a Mirpur s’han oposat anteriorment a l’expansió de l’Aeroport de Heathrow al Regne Unit per motius ambientals. Aquesta aparent contradicció ha estat objecte de discussió en diverses plataformes en línia.

El cas de l’aeroport de Mirpur ha posat sobre la taula un debat complex i necessari sobre els límits de la representació parlamentària, la coherència en les polítiques ambientals, i el sentit de la responsabilitat pública quan es tracta d’influència internacional.
