4 | On November 13, 2002, the petrol tanker Prestige sank off the coast of Galicia in northern Spain, causing a highly toxic oil spill that polluted parts of France and Spain's Atlantic coast in what is considered to be one of the worst environmental disasters in history. | Rendrika tany amin'ny sisin-dranomasin'i Galice any avaratr'i Espaina tamin'ny 13 Novambra 2002 ilay sambo Prestige mpitondra solika ary nanary solika misy poizina mahery vaika izay nandoto ny ranomasina Atlantika any amin'ny faritr'i Espaina sy Frantsa ary voasokajy ho iray amin'ny loza ratsy indrindra nanjo ny tontolo iainana teo amin'ny tantara. |
5 | Eleven years later, after ten years of investigation and a nine-month trial, the Galician High Court of Justice has acquitted three of the defendants - the ship's captain, Apostolos Mangouras; the ship's chief engineer, Nikolaos Argyropoulos; and the head of Spain's merchant navy at the time, José Luis López Sors - of all crimes against the environment. | Iraika ambin'ny folo taona taty aoriana, izany hoe folo taona nanaovana fanadihadiana sy sivy volana nanaovana fitsaràna dia nafahan'ny Fitsarana Avon'i Galice madiodio tamin'ny heloka rehetra vitany amin'ny fanimbana ny tontolo iainana ny telo amin'ireo voampanga- ny kapitenin-tsambo, Apostolos Mangouras ; ny lehiben'ny injeniera, Nikolaos Argyropoulos ary ny lehiben'ny varotra an-dranomasina tao Espaina tamin'ny fotoan'andro, José Luis López Sors. |
6 | A fourth defendant, the vessel's second officer, remains on the run. | Ny fahefatra, ny lefitry ny kaomandy kosa dia mbola notànana ihany. |
7 | The catastrophe occurred when, due to unknown causes, one of the ship's oil tanks was punctured near the “Coast of Death.” | Niseho ilay loza, noho ny antony tsy fantatra, teo akaikin'ny “Côte de la Mort” na “Sisin-dranomasin'ny Fahafatesana” rehefa hita fa nisy lavaka ny iray tamin'ireo fitehirizan-tsolika. |
8 | The ship's captain asked Spanish authorities for permission to dock, but was prohibited from bringing the tanker closer to shore for fear that the leak would pollute the port. | Nangataka tamin'ny manam-pahefana Espaniola ilay kapitenin-tsambo mba hanamorona ny sisintany saingy nolavina ny fanatonan'ilay sambo mpitondra solika ny morona noho ny tahotra sao dia handoto ny seranan-tsambo ilay solika nitete. |
9 | He received the same response from Portuguese and French authorities. | Mitovy amin'izay ihany koa ny valinteny azony avy amin'ny manam-pahefana Portioge sy Frantsay. |
10 | The Prestige was forced to return to the high seas with a cracked hull and in terrible weather conditions, which would later lead to its sinking and the massive oil spill that followed. | Voatery niverina tany am-povoan-dranomasina niaraka tamin'ilay fahavakisana sy tanaty rivo-mahery ilay sambo izay niteraka ny faharendrehany sy ny fahaverezan'ny solika tao anatiny tato aoriana. |

13 | According to the Spanish blog El ojo Sostenible (The Sustainable Eye): | Araka ny fahitàn'ny El ojo Sostenible bilaogy Espaniola ( Ny maso maharitra) azy dia : |
14 | The acquittal reverberated around the world in publications such as as Al Jazeera [en], The Telegraph [en], The Times [en], BBC [en], The New York Times [en], Le Monde [fr] and Der Spiegel [de]. | Niely naneran-tany tamin'ny gazety toy ny Al Jazeera [en], The Telegraph [en], The Times [en], BBC [en], The New York Times [en], Le Monde [fr] ary Der Spiegel [de] ilay vaovao momba ilay fanafahana. |
15 | In Spain, the court's decision has outraged citizens, who have expressed their frustration on social networks. | Tany Espaina, nahatezitra ny vahoaka izay naneho izany tamin'ny tambajotra sosialy ilay didy navoakan'ny fitsaràna. |
16 | On Twitter, “Prestige” has been a trending topic for several days: | Andro maromaro no nivoizana ny resaka “Prestige” tao amin'ny Twitter : |
17 | “Prestige” case: From “everyone to jail”, to “everyone free”! Long live wine! | Ny raharaha “Prestige” : Avy amin'ny ” gadraina ny tsirairay”, mankany amin'ny “afahana ny rehetra ” Ho ela velona anie ny divay! |
18 | The Prestige committed suicide. | Namono tena ny Prestige. |
19 | Gonzalo Semprún tweeted a political cartoon by Manel Fontdevila that shows the judge exiting the Galician High Court of Justice. | Nobitsihin'i Gonzalo Semprún ilay sariitatra ara-politika nataon'i Manel Fontdevila izay mampiseho ny fivoahan'ny mpitsara ny Fitsarana Avon'ny Galice. |
20 | Meanwhile, a group of birds covered in oil peer at him from around the corner. | Mandritra izany fotoana izany dia misy voron-dranomasina maromaro rakotra solika mijery azy avy ery an-jorony ery. |
21 | “What did you say that movie was called?” one bird asks the other. | “Inona no lazainao amin'izany sarimihetsika izany?” hoy ny fanontaniany vorona iray amin'ny hafa. |
22 | “The Birds”, the other replies: | “Ny Vorona”, hoy ny navalin'ilay iray hafa : |
23 | Manel Fontdevila: No one found guilty in Prestige case. | Manel Fontdevila: Tsy misy meloka amin'ny raharaha Prestige. |
24 | Some tweets compared and contrasted the disparity between this case and others. | Nampitaha sy nampifanohitra ny tsy fitoviana eo amin'ity raharaha ity sy ny raharaha hafa ireo bitsika sasany. |
25 | Alba Martín Tutor cited a recent case in which a cyclist in Sabadell was fined 100 euros (about 134 US dollars) for eating a croissant while riding his bicycle: | Tanisain'i Alba Martín Tutor ny tranga iray vao haingana izay nandoavan'i Sabadella, mpitaingina bisikileta, onitra 100 euros (eo amin'ny 134 dolara amerikana eo) noho ny nihinanany mofo teny am-pitaingenana ny bisikiletany : |
26 | We're idiots in this country: A 200-euro fine for a man eating a croissant while cycling, and nothing for the Prestige case. | Isika no adala eto amin'ity firenena ity : 200 euros no onitra ho an'ny lehilahy mihinana mofo mandritra ny fitaingenany bisikileta, ary tsinontsinona kosa ny an'ny raharaha Prestige. |
27 | Twitter user Verónica compared it to an ongoing case in Girona in which a professional pianist is being sued over noise pollution by her downstairs neighbor, who alleges her piano playing caused psychological damage. | Ampitahain'i Verónica, mpiserasera amin'ny Twitter, amin'ilay raharaha misy amin'izao fotoana izao any Girona izay nanenjehana ilay mpitendry piano matihanina noho ny fanabatabàna ny olona monina ao ambaniny, izay milaza fa ny fitendreny ny piano-ny no mampikorontana ny sainy. |
28 | The public prosecutor originally sought a seven-year-jail sentence, but has since reduced it to 20 months: | Tamin'ny voalohany dia nogadrain'ilay mpampanoa lalàna fito taona an-tranomaizina izy saingy nahena ho 20 volana izany tato aoriana : |
29 | Playing the #piano: noise contamination and seven years in prison. | Fitendrena #piano: manabataba ary fito taona an-tranomaizina. |
30 | The #Prestige dumps 63,000 tons of oil and it isn't a crime #verguenzadejusticia [disgraceful sentence] | Nanary solika 63.000 Taonina ny #Prestige fa tsy heloka izany #verguenzadejusticia [fitsarana mahamenatra ] |
31 | Pablo Correas Tébar noted a case in which five people are facing time in prison over alleged aggression toward police during a protest in Guadalajara against education budget cuts: | Nampatsiahivin'i Pablo Correas Tébar ilay raharaha izay nahavoarohirohy olona dimy tamin'ny fiheverana fa nampiasa herisetra tamin'ny mpitandro filaminana izy ireo nandritra ilay hetsi-panoherana momba ny fampihenana ny tetibola ho an'ny fanabeazana tany Guadalajara : |
32 | No one guilty in the Prestige case; but for defending public education? | Tsy misy meloka amin'ny raharaha Prestige ; fa ho an'ny fiarovana ny fanabeazam-bahoaka ? |

37 | It seems the case is not punishable due to the fact that the ship -single-hulled and, according to experts, very old and equipped with more than precarious security measures- had permission to navigate through the Galician coastline. | Araka ny filazan'ny manam-pahaizana dia tsy azo ampiharana sazy ity raharaha momba ilay sambo ‘monocoque' ity, izay efa antitra sy manana fitaovam-piarovana amin'ny vonjy taitra tena tsy azo antoka - nomena alàlana hanaraka ny sisintanin'i Galice . |
38 | Also not punishable, it seems, was the controversial decision to remove the tanker from the coastline, spreading oil throughout the area for hours. | Mbola tsy azo saziana ihany koa, araka ny fahitàna azy, ilay didy hanesorana ilay sambo hiala ny morontsiraka, izay manaparitaka solika manerana ny faritra nandritra ora maro. |
39 | The government's abominable management and slowness, if not uselessness, seem to be deserving of not a single official apology. | Ny fitantanana ratsy sy nitarazoky ny governemanta, mba tsy ilazana hoe tsy misy ilàna azy, dia tsy mendrika ny fialan-tsiny ôfisialy na dia kely akory aza. |
40 | Blogger Juantxo López de Uralde lamented that charges were never pressed against those chiefly responsible for the catastrophe: | Notsinian'i Juantxo López de Uralde, mpitoraka bilaogy, fa tsy mbola nisy mihitsy vesatra natao hanenjehana izay tompon'andraikitra voalohany amin'ilay loza mahatsiravina : |
41 | The trial came to an end without a single person politically responsible for that tragedy sitting in the courtroom's dock. | Vita ny fitsaràna nefa tsy nisy notsaraina na dia iray aza izay tompon'andraikitra ara-politika momba io raharaha io. |
42 | (…) But we aren't just looking at the politicians, we also have to ask ourselves how it's possible that not one of those responsible for the fuel, the cargo, the shipping company…sat there in the docks. | (…) Fa tsy ny mpanao politika ihany no itodihantsika fa tsy maintsy manontany tena koa isika hoe ahoana no mampety izany hoe na iray aza tamin'ireo tompon'andraikitry ny solika, ny mpitondra entana, ny vondron'ny mpampanofa sambo… tsy nisy nipetraka tery amin'ny sezan'ny tsaraina. |
43 | But it's particularly painful that the criminal negligence of those who sent the tanker out to sea went unpunished. | Fa ny tena mampahonena dia votsotra fotsiny tsy nisy nisazy ny an-tandrevaka nataon'ireo nandefa ilay sambo handeha eny an-dranomasina. |
44 | The environmental activist group Nunca Máis, which formed in response to the Prestige disaster, has decided not to appeal the ruling, and the region's fishermen's cooperative is considering the same, due to the very high legal fees involved [es]. | Nanapa-kevitra ny tsy hampakatra fitsarana ny vondronà mpandala ny tontolo iainana Nunca Máis, izay niforona noho ny fisian'ilay loza Prestige, toraka izany ihany koa ireo fikambanan'ny mpanjono eo amin'io faritra io, ny antony dia ny halafon'ny saran'ny fitsarana. |
45 | According to El Confidencial [es], in this catastrophe it's the taxpayers who lose: | Ireo mpandoa hetra no tena voa mafy amin'ity fahavoazana ity araka ny tatitry ny El Confidencial [es]: |
46 | Volunteers cleaning the beach at Carnota (La Coruña). | Ireo mpiasa an-tsitrapo manadio ny morontsiraka any Carnota (La Coruña). |

48 | The verdict means that the only three defendants prosecuted for the accident are not guilty, and for this reason, civil liability cannot be imposed upon anyone. | Lazain'ilay didim-pitsaràna fa ireo olona telo voahenjika ihany no tsy meloka, noho izany tsy misy olona azo terena ho tompon'andraikitra. |
49 | The most significant consequence is that the shipowner's insurance won't cover the costs incurred in the coastal clean-up. | Ny vokany iray lehibe izao dia tsy maharakotra akory ny saran'ny fanadiovana ny morontsiraka ny antoka nataon'ilay tomponà sambo. ( |
50 | (…) The prosecutor quoted around 4.328 billion euros [about 5.8 billion US dollars] in costs and damages (…). | …) Nolazain'ny tao amin'ny fitsarana fa manodidina ny 4,328 lavitrisa euros [ eo ho eo amin'ny 5,8 lavitrisa dolara Amerikana] ny sandany sy ny fahavoazana (…). |
51 | But the ruling takes away any right to economic claims. | Saingy nesorin'ilay didy avokoa ny fangatahana ara-toekarena rehetra. |
52 | Costs could rise if French plans [es] to re-file the administrative review presented by the coastal protection trade union of Las Landas, the French area affected by the spill, to the National High Court days after the disaster are successful. Their lawyer Renaud Lahitète said: | Mety mbola hiakatra io sanda io raha toa ka mandresy ilay tetikasa Frantsay [es] hamelona indray ilay fangatahana ara-panjakana nataon'ny sendikan'ny fiarovana ny sisintanin'i Landes, faritra Frantsay iray tratran'ilay solika mainty, any amin'ny Fitsarana Avo Nasionaly andro vitsivitsy taorian'ilay fahavoazana : Izao no nolazain'i Renaud Lahitète mpisolovava azy ireo : |
53 | We presented the review as a precaution the day after oil arrived on our shores in order to be able to act in case it was found that no crime was committed, just as the acquittal has done now. | Natolotray ny ampitson'ny nahatongavan'ny solika teto amin'ny sisintaninay ihany ilay fitakiana ho fiomanana hahafahanay mihetsika raha toa ka hita fa tsy misy heloka vita, tahaka izao fanafahana madiodio izao. |
54 | Greenpeace Spain now considers the decision to be “a white card allowing the petrol industry to put the environment, and citizens, at risk.” | Heverin'ny Greenpeace Espaina ilay fapahan-kevitra ho toy “karatra fotsy famelàna ny indostrian'ny solika hametraka ny tontolo iainana sy ny mponina hiatrika loza mitatao”. |
55 | The organization's campaign director María José Caballero stated [es]: | Izao no nolazain'i [es] María José Caballero talen'ny fanentanan'ilay fikambanana : |
56 | The sentence shows that in Spain we are not yet ready to try an environmental catastrophe [in the courts], neither to condemn it, nor to defend the environment. | Asehon'ilay didim-pitsaràna fa tsy mbola vonona hitsara [eny amin'ny fitsaràna] ny zava-miseho manimba tontolo iainana i Espaina , na hanameloka azy, na hiaro ny tontolo iainana. |
