In recent weeks, La Tribune de Planas has taken the time to update several key articles concerning the history of our urbanisation. These are not just dusty archives, but court rulings, official documents and concrete facts that shed light, better than any political speech, on the current situation in Planas del Rey.
Because if Planas finds itself in a deadlock today, it is above all the result of decades of manoeuvres, denial and inaction, despite the mounting evidence.
What these documents remind us of:
As early as 1968, the developer Francisco Lebasque transferred the common areas to the Pratdip town hall.
In 1988, the town hall imposed the creation of the EUCC (Urban Conservation and Collaboration Entity), plunging residents into a hybrid and controversial system.
The courts, on several occasions, reminded that the infrastructure should be handed over to the town hall.
Nevertheless, the municipality ignored these rulings or signed ambiguous agreements with the EUCC.
Until, in 2016, the Superior Court of Justice of Catalonia finally put an end to the existence of the EUCC.
All these facts are now available, explained and documented in these updated articles:
Understanding history means rejecting oblivion and manipulation.
We invite all property owners and residents to read, re-read and circulate this essential information.

Comment from Mr. Jacques Henceval and our response, which we have chosen to translate so that as many people as possible can read them:
This is a very biased and hardly objective version… for example, there is no evidence that in 1968 the Town Hall refused to integrate the urbanisation… nor that such integration was requested…
Response:
Hello Jacques,
Thank you for your comment, although it seems to me that it is based more on a reflex to contradict than on a genuine reading of the historical documents.
Contrary to what you claim, there is clear evidence that in 1968 the Town Hall of Pratdip was formally asked to integrate Planas del Rey and take over the management of public services. I invite you to consult the official document dated 23 December 1968, written by the mayor himself, in which the following is stated:
– The property owners, gathered in assembly, decided to transfer the common areas and infrastructure to the Town Hall.
– The developer, Francisco Lebasque, officially asked the Town Hall to accept responsibility for these services.
– The Town Hall, in response, gave its acceptance in principle, subject to the report from the Provincial Inspection Service.
It is true that an official reception may not have been formalised, but not because no steps were taken, but because, as still happens today, the Town Hall has always found a convenient excuse to delay matters, citing, among other things, the lack of technical studies — an argument they continue to use 55 years later.
It is regrettable that some, whether out of strategy or personal interest, insist on downplaying these historical facts simply because they do not fit their reassuring narrative towards the local authorities.
This is not about “biased” interpretations, but rather about administrative documents that anyone can consult and verify.
Have a nice day.
