Sosa says that "everything points to speculative interests"
In that same environment, the neighbors highlight the mayor of IU-V, Pedro Sosa, the existence of several wells at ground level, discovered, without any protection and of great danger
The IU-V spokesman in the City of Lorca, Pedro Sosa, has appeared this morning before the media of Lorca to highlight a new complaint of his group related to environmental damage to natural areas of the municipality.
In this case, the complaint focuses on the Sierra de la Almenara, an emblematic pre-coastal mountain range shared by the municipalities of Lorca and Águilas and protected by various legal figures.
The action denounced by the IU-V Spokesman, who hours before the press conference visited "in situ" and in the company of neighbors the affected area, consists of a large earthworks, covering a ravine on the mountain edge of the space cited in the vicinity of the Lorca-Águilas highway, very close to the place where two abandoned gas stations of the aforementioned infrastructure are located.
The earthmoving carried out with heavy machinery, in addition to covering part of the rambla, has taken the vegetation of the place ahead and has affected a protected species such as the black turtle.
Sosa argues that, as it seems, it is intended to speculate for large speculative land across the mountain range of the Almenara closest to the highway and the deputation of Purias, with splendid views of the Guadalentín Valley and all mountainous ropes that delimit it.
The neighbors affirm that both the SEPRONA and the Segura Hydrographic Confederation are already aware of the earthworks, and Pedro Sosa himself argues that this morning he has informed the technicians of the Department of Urban Planning of Lorca and is Waiting for them to confirm if there is any type of request processed in our local administration.
In the course of the visit, the mayor of IU-V has also been able to verify the existence, in the vicinity of the break, of two mining wells open at ground level, discovered, without any protection and of great danger, on which also has informed urban planning technicians.
Sosa has ended up reflecting on the economic activities that are abandoned without those who have exploited them being forced to eliminate the inconvenience, damage or potential damage they cause to the general interest.
And he has put the two proven examples this morning in the aforementioned environment: two abandoned gas stations, with all their facilities open, broken and victims of looting, or the same mining wells, which, once the extractive activity is finished, and started at all the possible mineral in the earth is left open and unprotected with the damage that can cause.
