In a resounding victory for **citizen participation** and the defense of **green spaces and of a [public park](https://noticiasambientales.com/compromiso-ambiental/transforman-en-lomas-de-zamora-antiguos-basurales-en-nuevos-espacios-verdes-para-los-vecinos/)**, the judiciary has ordered the suspension of a **real estate development** in a disputed area in **Boulogne**, San Isidro.
The **precautionary measure** comes as a result of the persistent demand from the **Assembly of Neighbors**, who are advocating for the **creation of a [public park](https://noticiasambientales.com/turismo/misiones-abrio-al-publico-la-reserva-natural-silvestre-parque-federal-campo-san-juan/)** in the area and had the crucial support of the **[Ombudsman of the Province of Buenos Aires](https://www.instagram.com/defensoriapba/?hl=es)**.
## The technical report that changed the course: irregularities exposed in the public park
The ruling of **Court No. 4** was largely based on a **technical report** presented by the **Ombudsman**, which was decisive for the judicial resolution. This report revealed two **critical irregularities** that tainted the approval of the **real estate project**:
– **Lack of Community Consultation:** The proper consultation process with the affected community was not carried out, an essential step in projects of this magnitude.
– **Outdated Environmental Report:** The approval of the project was based on an environmental report from 2017, considered outdated to assess the current impact of the undertaking.
## The mission of the ombudsman: ensuring collective rights
The **provincial body** emphasized that its **intervention** aimed at guaranteeing fundamental rights enshrined in the **National Constitution** and international treaties of **human rights**.
These rights include access to a healthy environment, the **equitable distribution** of green spaces, and crucially, the **[right to citizen participation](https://noticiasambientales.com/medio-ambiente/caba-la-fiscalia-ambiental-inspecciono-el-parque-sarmiento-tras-denuncias-por-contaminacion-en-el-predio/)** in decisions affecting their **surroundings**.
**Lucía Claramunt**, Delegate of the **Ombudsman** in San Isidro, explained the role of the **institution** in these cases: “Our role is to take the **citizens’ complaints** and present the case with **legal and technical reports** that provide greater support.”
By taking this action, the **Ombudsman** reaffirms its commitment to the **protection of collective rights**, strengthening alliances with **social organizations** and **communities** actively working for the common good.
