Fulgencio Gil: "I invite the minister to come and know the damage caused by taking away the water" (29/11/2018)

The Mayor remembers that there is not a town that saves and takes more care of the water than the Lorca.

Here we witness a daily miracle, to which they respond with contempt.

This measure only brings unemployment, ruin and recession, in addition to giving free rein to the advance of desertification.

The mayor of Lorca, Fulgencio Gil, has described as "especially harmful to Lorca and the Guadalentín region" the decision of the current Government of Spain to deny the farmers of our land the water they need so much to carry out their production.

A rejection whose damaging consequences are particularly unfair now that there is plenty of water at the head of the Tagus.

There is no problem in approving a transfer of up to 20 hm3, and instead they respond with absolute zero for agriculture.

Fulgencio Gil has said that today is an unfortunate tomorrow for us, since this incomprehensible decision of the Government of Spain constitutes an unprecedented attack against Lorca and the Guadalentín region.

We have always defended that in Spain the principle of generosity must prevail among all citizens, regardless of where they reside, but before this reality, which responds to common sense, the Government of Spain prefers to remain blind.

The mayor has indicated that we live here, and I am concerned about my people, the thousands of families who make a living pulling the best and highest quality food we put in the pantries of Europe from the hard land.

It seems that someone has not learned that if we want quality fruits and vegetables they can not deny our people the water they so badly need.

It is incomprehensible that they attack our main socio-economic engine in this way.

They are harming those who take this land forward, with decisions that only bring unemployment, ruin and recession, in addition to giving free rein to the advance of the desertification of our soils.

The First Edil has stressed that after the conversation on this matter with the Regional President, Fernando López, not only concern us this intolerable decision, but the ways and attitude of the minister.

I demand that they park the arrogance they are imposing and I invite them to instead of making decisions from ignorance in an office 500 kilometers away, that they come to Lorca, that we do not eat anybody here, and I will accompany them so they can meet in First person how the people of this land leave their lives for their crops and we take advantage of every last drop of water for our fields.

There is not a town that saves and takes more care of the water than the Lorca.

I invite you to come, to know our cooperatives and the thousands of families who work in them, as well as to be aware of the extent to which the struggle for water shapes our history for centuries.

In Lorca we witness a daily miracle, to which they are responding with contempt.

Fulgencio Gil has stressed that Lorca bothers us the coldness that has been denying us the water, and the recklessness of a measure harmful to all, The water is not Pedro Sanchez or the minister, is everyone, and you can not steal the one that legally corresponded to the farmers of this region.

It seems a robbery, even more so when a few days ago they were excusing their decision in a supposed break in the transfer and now they change to say that it is because it has rained in Murcia.

The Mayor has anticipated that in the next few days he will hold a meeting with representatives of the sector to establish the extent of the damage of this refusal of the current Government of Spain, and recalled that in recent months are accumulating negative news: delays in the arrival of AVE, deviation of investments to pay electoral debts with parties that want to break Spain, paralyze the works of the Palace of Justice, and instead of stopping this escalation, now they deny us even the water that is left over.
