Protest in Los Montesinos, Spain, against a local council-approved organic waste treatment plant.

Residents in Los Montesinos, Spain's Costa Blanca, protest against the local council's decision to build an organic waste treatment plant. The biowaste recycling facility, which was approved by Mayor Jose Manuel Butron, has raised concerns among locals over potential odors, methane emissions, and financial compensation. Critics argue that the plant's estimated waste processing capacity is conservative and the facility's proximity to businesses, churches, and public services may deter businesses from setting up in the area.
