Pedro Sosa and Worship Peñas have a press conference to announce that they have reported to the SEPRONA a raft of slurry of about 7000 m2 near Cabezo Velillas in the district of Puri, after complaints from locals who are suffering unbearable discomfort.

Pedro Sosa pointed out that after the closure of plants of purines in 2014 and although it was full a joint motion in which the local PP pledged to seek solutions to the problems that this would entail, nothing was done to respect, "to be a puppet government of the regional and national governance", leading to plant closures and loss of employment of workers who were stranded by all administrations, as there farmers who were managing their waste .

Sosa recalled that already several complaints that have been carried out by the extensions of feedlots, as Campillo last October or another in Tercia in April 2015, after the voracious urbanism we suffered in previous decades, have produced many homes have to coexist with rafts of these farms, a situation that branded as "unacceptable" and should be prevented by the municipal officers if they lack the necessary steps to dispose of the waste generated by facilities, so it's urged the Councillor for Environment and Urban Development, Mrs. Saturnino Martinez to take action once in this matter, since "it is a shame what is happening in our town with the issue of manure."

Worship Peñas referred to health and environmental problems that originate uncontrolled dumping of manure, that delve more if fit considering that Lorca is one of the European cities with the worst air quality, contaminating soil, groundwater by nitrates and the atmosphere, the proliferation of insect pests such as tigers mosquitoes, whose bites are terribly painful and can be vectors of other diseases.

To Peñas livestock activity it is necessary and a source of wealth for the town, "but must be reconciled with the peaceful coexistence", which clearly is not happening.

Peñas gave the example of the problems these discharges originate, being affected by neighboring Aguaderas odors when the wind blows in that direction, which prevents you from doing everyday activities such as hang clothes on the street, to the which is adhered soon the stench, or just get some fresh air on the porch of his house, in addition to mainly affect the health of vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly and people with cardiorespiratory problems.
