We demand that the political groups of these measures be moved today, created from the most obscurantism.
Either things are done well, or this will explode "
The Councilor for Agriculture and Livestock in the City of Lorca by the Popular Party, Angel Meca, has demanded this morning the current local government of Citizens and PSOE to make public immediately the measures it has prepared to cut and restrict farmers their work in all our municipal term.
They have not had enough to raise their taxes by 30% by 2020, but now threaten to continue chasing them by modifying the General Plan to restrict their possibilities.
We demand "light and stenographers", total transparency and that all political groups have direct participation in that matter.
What we will not tolerate in any case is that they bring measures alone and then serve them as "lentils" through a motion to the full.
Here we all have a lot to contribute.
In fact, we have given more than enough evidence and examples of acting responsibly in this matter, always trying to temper the mood among the farmers, looking for alternatives and concord, but instead of betting on working truly together, the PSOE and Citizens respond with obscurantism and "table table" contubernios.
Either things are done well, or this is not going anywhere.
It seems a lie, but we have had to find out from the press that the current government has already drafted and finished it, without even having deigned to consult with the political groups.
Where is the transparency that is required for decision-making of this magnitude?
Why are they still committed from the PSOE to attack our farmers?
Moreover, if from Madrid the PSOE is going to leave us without water closing the transfer of the Tagus, and from Lorca they are tripping the farmers, what do they think we live in Lorca?
Because here, and we will not tire of saying it, we live from this, from cultivating our land and taking care of livestock production.
What mania has entered the PSOE to bring down the primary sector!
We are talking about a premeditated strategy, whose main consequences will be the fall of the economy and the destruction of employment.
At this point we believe that it is not necessary to remember that precisely agriculture and livestock are the main socio-economic and job creation engine in Lorca, so we do not understand how the PSOE continues to attack the sector in this way, There is also the circumstance that all indicators anticipate that we are entering a new global crisis due to the slowdown in the economy.
From the PP we denounce that the obscurantism with which these measures of restriction against Lorca farmers are being elaborated does nothing more than contribute to the smear campaign against him that is being developed by certain areas that have made the "anti-livestock fundamentalism "an insane obsession.
So far, thanks to the wisdom prevailed, the Lorca had achieved that these approaches did not reach the municipality, but the PSOE has decided to bring them by the hand and impose them, although they sink our economy and destroy jobs.
The PSOE is adding to this smear campaign.
Thats the reality.
Instead of trying to pacify, and help farmers to disclose to what extent they have opted to modernize their farms and adapt to the new animal welfare laws, they are given the trip and they are preparing a true "legal trap" to destroy Your chances of progressing.
If in Lorca we can be proud of something it is to export the best agri-food products, with the greatest guarantees in the world, and to have been able to adapt our fields and farms to contemporary needs.
But instead of valuing the work of our farmers, the PSOE will make things more difficult.
For that, of course they don't have us.
Moreover, we ask ourselves, where are those socialists now who boasted so much to defend the primary sector? Have they been mute? Are they really going to remain silent in the face of this attack on the sector?
It is clear that if there are incidents on farms, you have to act, but what is outrageous is to demonize the lifestyle of hundreds of Lorca families, raise taxes and penalize them with a reform of the General Plan to finish sinking them.
