Pedro Sosa, councilor of Izquierda Unida Verdes in the town hall of Lorca, will request information at the next plenary session for the month of March to be held next Monday, on two unprocessed burials of land in spaces SCI (Place of Community Interest) and about the amount they received in aid for the reconstruction after the earthquakes the houses owned by the banks and if they have been duly justified.
Regarding the clearing, "Ecologists in Action" recently addressed the competent authorities to denounce the clearing and transformation to new irrigations "without authorization", of 30 hectares of land, part dry land crops and part uncultivated forest land, in the place known as Los Manchones, Lorca.
This environmental organization affirms that the transformation to new irrigation without authorization "supposes a serious environmental impact in the region, both due to the unaffordable increase in water demand, which leads to overexploitation of aquifers and basins, as well as to the great transformation suffered by the lands, often directly affecting natural ecosystems and endangered wild species. "
Specifically, this clearing affects the protected area LIC ES6200039 Cabezo de la Jara and Rambla de Nogalte, which, it is claimed, "in an area especially sensitive to soil transformation due to the presence of Moravian tortoise, classified as a vulnerable species, and other species of raptors, like the Royal Owl or the European Short-toed. "
This week we have also been able to verify that another large clearing is being carried out on the mountain edge of the Sierra de la Almenara at the end of the path of the Búcanos that could affect the area LIC ES6200035 of this important natural area.
Therefore, given the great value of these two spaces, Sosa will ask what actions the local administration has undertaken in defense of its protection.
With regard to the other question, among the beneficiaries of Decree 68/2011, of May 16, which regulates the aid managed by the CARM for the repair and reconstruction of housing affected by seismic movements, we know that there was Many banks and financial institutions, for which a detailed list of the homes that have been the object of assistance will be requested, what amounts have been paid to each of these banks and entities, which homes have been subject to the appropriate rehabilitation with these aids and what is the processing status of the return procedures that, where appropriate, may exist in relation to these beneficiaries.
