The councilman of Rural Development in the City of Lorca, Angel Mecca, announced that the City Council will demand the Government of Spain the fulminating dismissal of the current government delegate in the Region of Murcia for his scandalous statements perpetrated yesterday afternoon in which, verbatim, "celebrates" the supposed cancellation of the solar energy project planned in Zarcilla de Ramos.
After these demonstrations, which, at least, border on prevarication with the aggravation of having been publicly disclosed, we are obliged to clarify that this is a discretionary report in the process that the promoters of the solar plant continue with the Ministry of Ecological Transition, and in no case, against what was transferred to the press by the current government delegate, is a firm resolution.
This is a proposal in which they ask the promoters to adapt the project, an update that the company had already planned to carry out, among other issues, include the new panels that will be implemented, since the initial project included others that are already obsolete.
Therefore, and to be clear, the project continues, the promoters have confirmed that they continue working.
The processing of the solar plant does not stop.
The manipulated diffusion that has been made of this procedure constitutes a very serious irresponsibility.
The current delegate has betrayed his eagerness to try to hang the sad medal of ending a project that will involve an investment of nearly 300 million euros, in addition to hundreds of jobs during the construction of the facilities and their subsequent maintenance .
We are talking about a strategic project for the entire Region of Murcia, backed by all the municipal groups of the City Council and the Autonomous Community, and that this Mr. has endeavored to burst at all costs.
A government delegate who "celebrates" the hypothetical suppression of a strategic project of this magnitude, which involves the creation of jobs and an opportunity to boost especially our high districts, can not continue a second more in the position.
The City Council is not going to sit idly by this nonsense, and we will demand through a letter of complaint to the Government of Spain the cessation of this Mr. for his shameful and scandalous demonstrations, which destroys any security principle legal
We have never seen a performance as clumsy and disastrous as this.
The current delegate has the obligation not to get involved in matters in which it is the decision-making body, because it can not be judge and party.
We do not know the reasons that led this man to fall into such nonsense, but given the seriousness of the facts, which place the Ministry of Ecological Transition in a very difficult situation, it is clear that he must be removed from his position.
The councilman of Rural Development has pointed out that Lorca is firmly committed to the development of solar energy production projects, the cleanest that can be obtained, as a model of energy transition, following the most ecological European line in this regard.
Therefore, we demand that, if this country is really committed to a new energy model, do not put any more obstacles to people who are committed to making them a reality.
We are talking about the construction of the largest solar plant in Spain, which will become a factor of dynamisation thanks to its contracts and synergies.
This places us at the head of an industrial area loaded with the future.
We are talking about supplying almost 170,000 homes with renewable energy, avoiding the emission of 475,000 tons of carbon dioxide and the use of 200,000 tons of oil per year.
Regarding the statements made by the local PSOE in which it tries to hold the CARM responsible for this matter, Ángel Meca has demanded that party "seriousness, rigor and responsibility", inviting them to instead of defending their head of ranks, defend Lorca.
The reality is that the technicians of the general directorate of environment detected the presence of a couple of a type of bird in 2016, and of a single copy in 2017, while in 2018 and 2019 there has been no record of it, a fact that in no case prevents the implementation of this solar plant.
