| The proposal defends the rights of the affected residents and supports the alternative route presented by the victims, as already made the PP in 2009 | The PP rejects that the company has even invaded affected properties to carry out the marking tasks without notifying the neighbors The initiative promoted by Fulgencio Gil in defense of the interests of the residents affected by the high voltage line that Iberdrola intends to build in the heart of the Sierra de Almenara, has deserved the support of all the political groups with representation in the city council.

Thanks to this motion, Gil has managed to get the Municipal Council to show its disagreement with the three possible routes proposed by Iberdrola, while they seriously affect the residents of the districts of Hinojar, Aguaderas, Campo López-Carrasquilla and Purias. Fulgencio Gil's proposal also urges Iberdrola to look for alternative routes to those proposed so far, which do not affect the residents of these districts in any case.

Likewise, urge Iberdrola to stop said project, as long as no alternative solutions are found in the aforementioned sense, and no projects of any kind are presented in this regard without previously having been agreed with both the City Council and the representatives of the groups.

and neighborhood associations of the referred Provinces of our municipal term. Gil has ratified the frontal rejection of Iberdrola's attempt to install a High Voltage line in the middle of the Sierra de la Almenara.

It is a project that constitutes a profound ecological and social destruction, damaging the entire space between El Hinojar and Purias, damaging both garden areas and recognized environmental value.

We managed to stop this in 2009 because we don't want it for Lorca and we will continue to do so. This line is unnecessary because it does not respond to the existence of supply requests, since there is already another power line that is responsible for supplying the areas to which it is intended to reach, but it would seriously impact our municipality. The place where it is intended to build already suffered decades ago the punishment of having to endure the construction of the 400 kilo-volt Rocamora line, so this new project exacerbates the damage.

The impact of this line would be very strong, especially affecting the residents of Marchena, Aguaderas, Campo López and Purias. Fulgencio Gil has considered it unpresentable that the neighbors have had to find out about what is happening because they have surprised the technicians hired by Iberdrola by marking the places where they plan to raise the high voltage turrets, something they have done without even having permission from the neighbors of the plots to access their respective properties. These works, which have been carried out since last September, are carried out with drones and technicians on the ground, who mark each location with large blades, some of them being just 50 meters from the homes of many families.

Many homes will therefore be trapped between the lines of this line and the existing one that connects with Rocamora.

The intervention is being carried out with such obscurantism that there are many affected who still do not know the damage that they are going to do. We are talking about a high voltage line with a power of 132 kilovolts, which would start from El Hinojar, crossing Marchena, Aguaderas, Campo López and Purias, affecting the area of ??Villa Real, until heading towards Águilas.

This means that it affects places of high ecological value, which have well-recognized environmental protection, and which are the natural habitat of species such as the black tortoise, wild boar, rabbits, eagle owl, peregrine falcon, fox and three different types of eagles.

, among other families of flora and fauna, which define this area as the one with the greatest ecological diversity in the entire region. We have been together with the affected neighbors since 2009, and that will always remain our position.

Our commitment was that the Popular Party would oppose this plan, and that while we were in the local government, it would not be carried out, and we have complied with it.

Now we are going to continue working to prevent such destruction.

We support the route proposed by those affected, which borders the mountains and reduces the impact.
