The councilor of Izquierda-Unida Verdes in Lorca, Gloria Martín, has demanded that the Government team of the City of Lorca provide, "immediately" a "provisional solution", by means of generators, to the lack of electricity supply that, since last night at 10 pm, it affects the towns of Coy and Doña Inés.
The neighbors have spent the night without electricity when 95% of the inhabitants are elderly people.
Due to their pathologies, some neighbors live attached to oxygen machines which has made their situation "distressing".
Fortunately, many homes have a fireplace, because otherwise the situation would have been more dramatic because they could not heat the homes.
Martín, has tried to reach Coy.
"After passing Aviles I could not continue with my car because the road had four fingers of snow," he explained, to add that "all the way I have not seen a single snow plow."
That means that emergency vehicles would also have a hard time evacuating neighbors who needed medical attention at the referral hospital.
"They are practically incommunicado, as is also the case in another of the higher altitude villages, Zarzadilla de Totana."
"Coy has not been able to reach the bread," the baker of La Paca has confirmed to the councilwoman of IU-Verdes, from where this basic food is supplied to the towns in the area that lack their own oven.
In Doña Inés, farmers in the poultry sector have informed Gloria Martín that they have been trying to have someone lend them an electric generator since last night so that the few days old chickens they raise on their farms do not die frozen.
For all this, Martin has assured that the security and emergency operation after the wind and snow forecast established by the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) "is not working" and that the affected people "last night did not pass any municipal responsible for Check it, as the neighbors say.
"If we want to guarantee a future for the workers and students of the districts of the north of the municipality, one of the fundamental actions is to be able to guarantee the circulation and a stable electricity grid every time a storm of these characteristics arrives, something that currently unfortunately does not happens, "Martin concluded.
