The councilor of this formation, Gloria Martin, assured that the negligence of the Executive of Lopez Miras and the look for another side so that the economic interests of a few prevail on the defense of protected natural spaces, must have political and legal consequences
The councilor of Izquierda Unida-Verdes in Lorca, Gloria Martín, has announced that her political formation has lodged a complaint with the European Commission against the Government of the Region of Murcia for infringement of Community law.
Complaint that will also be made to the Environmental Prosecutor's Office.
The reason is the serious ecological and environmental crime that was perpetrated yesterday in the Lorca caves of Calnegre, Baño de las Mujeres and Siscal, and that resulted in the destruction of three important community habitats (1210, 2110 and 2230), formed by dunes embryonic mobiles that harbor unique botanical species.
Martín explained that on the autonomous governments of the PP it weighs the shame that the European Commission has initiated an infringement procedure on the Spanish State for the delay in the approval of the management plans of the Natura 2000 Network, including those of Cabo Cope. Calnegre.
This can result in economic sanctions and in the reduction of aid by European funds for the Region.
He also recalled that the approval of the Natural Resources Management Plan (PORN) of the Cabo Cope-Calnegre regional park has "27 years of delay".
"The government of López Miras does not give a shit about the Environment, but its neglect, to look the other way for the economic interests of a few to prevail over the defense of protected natural spaces must have political and legal consequences," Martín said. .
The illegal clearing has been practiced with a tractor in a space considered a Site of Community Interest, covered by Directive 92/43 / EEC, relating to the conservation of natural habitats and of wild flora and fauna.
It has been razed to the ground with wooden poles that prevented the movement inside the dune to prevent damage to these species.
Izquierda Unida has strongly condemned this act of sabotage, in addition to those carried out last summer to prevent access control for motor vehicles.
A measure to protect our beaches, "which belong to everyone," said Martín.
The mayor of IU criticized that "the hatred and greed of four heartless people" prevents them from being aware of the "brutal and irreparable damage" they are doing to this true natural treasure.
"Here there are people who have dedicated themselves to destroy with chainsaws infrastructures paid by all the taxpayers, to threaten to set fire or to beat the ecologists with sticks," the mayor explained.
However, to this day, there is not a single detainee for these acts of vandalism.
"It is not true that nobody sees anything, that nobody knows anything, it is infamous that what reigns here is an authentic omerta, an authentic law of silence for fear of reprisals or to protect the guilty who claim that what prevails in our littoral be the law of the Wild West, "he said.
Martín has urged the Delegate of the Government in the Region of Murcia, Diego Conesa, to increase the number of troops assigned to ensure the protection of these natural areas.
"It is impossible that the Nature Protection Service of the Civil Guard (Seprona), can perform their work with dignity and effectiveness if there are only three agents for all Lorca, Totana, Puerto Lumbreras and Aledo, which touch 728 km2 each "He said about the troops he called" authentic heroes ".
It has also demanded the regional president, Fernando Lopez Miras, to expand the staff of environmental agents, including those who are part of the Brigade of Investigation of Environmental Crimes (Brida).
"They feel invaded by impotence when they see that some of their reports get directly into a drawer," explained Martín, who wondered what interests are behind the concealment of these complaints and if the Environmental Prosecutor's Office is aware of these practices. He asked that they be investigated.
Finally, the councilor of Izquierda Unida-Verdes asked the Mayor of Lorca, Fulgencio Gil (PP), that the legal services of the City appear as a popular action in the proceedings that may be opened in court for these events.
