A ponte da discórdia

Sylvia Colombo

Passei uns dias na badalada costa uruguaia, que no verão vira ponto de encontro de celebridades, artistas e endinheirados em geral, principalmente argentinos, uruguaios e, cada vez com mais frequência, brasileiros. A história que mais me chamou a atenção foi a polêmica da ponte da Laguna Garzón, porque guarda muitas semelhanças com relação ao modo como progresso e sustentabilidade caminham na costa brasileira.

A Laguna Garzón é um cenário deslumbrante, ao lado da exclusiva praia de José Ignacio, que virou o lugar mais hype dos arredores de Punta del Este. Divide dois departamentos (Estados) uruguaios, Rocha e Maldonado. Hoje, o transporte de um lado para outro é feito por meio de precárias balsas de madeira, que por seu tamanho e frequência reduzidos, acabam fazendo com que seja trabalhoso cruzar e, com isso, deixam o lado de lá mais desértico, e mais belo.

Nos últimos anos, porém, empresários do meio imobiliário começaram a propor que se construísse uma ponte para facilitar o acesso. Entre os que comandam essa iniciativa está o criador do Malba (Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires), o argentino Eduardo Costantini, mais conhecido entre os brasileiros por ser o comprador da tela “Abaporu”, de Tarsila do Amaral.

Desde então, vários projetos surgiram, alguns mais, outros menos agressivos ao ambiente. Acabou sendo escolhido o do arquiteto Rafael Viñoly, autor de alguns desenhos famosos no Uruguai, como o do aeroporto de Carrasco, em Montevidéu.

Grupos de moradores e comerciantes da área são contra. Dizem que a ponte causará uma ocupação imobiliária desenfreada na região, além de causar impacto na fauna local. Desde 2009, quando surgiu o projeto, vêm aparecendo nos meios para pedir ajuda contra o empreendimento. “Para mim a ponte é um erro porque, se alcança um dos objetivos de realçar esse lugar, o impacto visual é muito grande e escapa ao racional”, diz Guzmán Artagaveytia, um dos proprietários do La Huella, o mais importante restaurante de José Ignacio. As reclamações contra a ponte incluem desde habitantes da região a políticos de esquerda e direita, como o senador Pedro Bordaberry, que acusou o governo da Frente Ampla, do presidente José “Pepe” Mujica de estar fazendo demasiadas concessões à indústria do turismo.

O projeto prevê uma ponte circular apoiada em 16 pilares, que permitem a navegação por baixo dela e, segundo o arquiteto, a livre circulação da água e dos peixes. A iluminação será baixa, na tentativa de causar o menor impacto visual possível, e não será permitido o trânsito de veículos pesados.

Apesar das pesadas críticas, o projeto foi aprovado pelo órgão responsável pelo ambiente no Uruguai, a construção deve começar em julho e o custo, de cerca de US$ 5 milhões, deve ser financiado por Costantini.

O turismo hoje responde a 8% do PIB do pequeno Uruguai. Segundo Mujica, trata-se da “galinha dos ovos de ouro” do país. O problema é que, para incrementar essa indústria, o presidente, seu partido e as autoridades locais, ligadas a ele, não têm levado em consideração a opinião dos habitantes. Na tarde da última terça-feira, caminhando por José Ignacio em direção à Lagoa, conversei com um casal de italianos que vem todos os anos ao Uruguai para passar as férias. “Se o Uruguai quer parecer a Florida, é bom ter claro que mudará o público que o frequenta, sem agradar quem mora aqui. É bom pensar bem”.

  2. With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright infringement? My site has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either authored myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my authorization. Do you know any solutions to help stop content from being ripped off? I’d certainly appreciate it.

  3. Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!
