The Councilor for this training, Gloria Martín, explained that problems such as energy poverty, unemployment, lack of water, technological deficit, depopulation of the rural environment or the effects of climate change, could be addressed efficiently if the Autonomous Community transit Toward a sustainable energy model
The councilor of Lorca United Left-Greens, Gloria Martín, has urged the mayors and mayors of the Region of Murcia to make a "common front" to free the Autonomous Community from the clutches of large electricity and democratize energy.
Martín has made this appeal after being aware of the ruling of the Constitutional Court that has covered the exemption of the 'tax on the sun' that the regional government had planned for self-consumption photovoltaic facilities, giving reason to the government of the nation, which resorted to the The Community against the interest of 18,000 families, a thousand of them of Lorca.
On the other hand, the mayor of IU-Greens also recalled that only in Lorca, 2,000 small producers of solar energy, most farmers, are "asphyxiated" after investing their life savings or mortgaging in the construction of solar orchards .
They were encouraged by the intense promotional campaign carried out by the Ministry of Industry and the guarantees offered by the Government of Spain which subsequently reduced the aid with retroactive effect.
This has forced those affected to renegotiate the loans they signed with the banks, going from a repayment period of ten to twenty years, practically the useful life of the facilities.
The pressures exerted by Brussels to implement policies to cut the public deficit and the influence exerted on the Spanish Executive by large electric companies to legislate in their favor are not only impeding the right of citizens to produce energy through But also cut the future of the region by making it dependent on fossil fuels (oil and gas), subject to a market affected by major geostrategic tensions and imposing exorbitant price increases the receipt of light has become more expensive 28% in the last six months.
All to the detriment of green energy, "an inexhaustible energy resource, cheap and non-polluting," said Martin.
For this reason, the mayor of IU-Greens encouraged the councilors of the municipalities of the Region to "press" together to rescue consumers and industry from an energy oligopoly that "has not spent a cent in the Region for years" while Gets "succulent benefits" at the expense of "bleeding" users.
In that sense, he gave as an example the case of those affected by the earthquakes of Lorca, who have had to defray the cost of the light transformers of their buildings and then give them free of charge to Iberdrola.
According to Martín, the Autonomous Administration and Local Corporations must fight for a sector that must be a leader in the Region, which generates wealth and quality employment and offers unlimited possibilities for economic growth.
"Problems such as energy poverty, unemployment, lack of water, technological deficit, depopulation of the rural environment or the effects of climate change could be efficiently addressed if the Region moves towards a sustainable energy model," explained the mayor of IU -Green.
"If countries like Germany are able to cover 87% of their needs with green energy, it is incomprehensible that we will not be able to fight here to achieve those goals," he added.
On the contrary, the Spanish government penalizes those who want to self-supply energy with solar panels, allows us to support one of the most expensive electricity bills in Europe, and favors companies that act abusively and deteriorate the environment.
