The Platform Stop landlords next to the houses insist on the need to exhaust the political route before reaching the courts for what they have requested a meeting with the mayor of the municipality, Francisco Jódar, who have not yet had a chance to raise His problem personally
The Platform Stop Cebaderos next to housing has lamented that their main contributions to the future municipal ordinance of the pork sector have been rejected by the government team of the City of Lorca which leaves them in the same situation of defenselessness they have right now.
From the platform they warn that the increase of the distance of 5 to 15 meters between houses and farms that will contemplate the future ordinance does not respect the constitutional rights to the protection of health (art.43CE) and to an adequate environment (Article 45 EC ), Underpinning the right of citizens to enjoy a quality of life that is consistent with the dignity of the individual, a fundamental right recognized in Article 10 of the Constitution.
Therefore, those affected insist on the need to exhaust the political route before reaching the courts for what they have requested a meeting with the mayor of the municipality, Francisco Jódar, who have not yet had the possibility to raise his problem personally.
The members of the platform reiterate the obligation of the City Council to comply with the protection of citizens when they are affected in their rights, as provided by the European Convention on Human Rights and the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights, which obliges The public authorities to maintain a fair balance between the business economic interest and the right of citizens to the effective enjoyment of their domicile and their private and family life.
The Platform says that establishing the 1,000 meters as the optimal distance between dwellings and livestock farms (except domestic ones) is reasonable, as demonstrated, for example, by the City of Caravaca de la Cruz, which established it in 2013 In its municipal Ordinance regulating livestock activities.
In that sense, they assert that the councilor of Urbanism of the City of Lorca, Saturnina Martínez, can not present as a "pioneer", a norm lacking in courage that does not solve the current problems or give answers to those generated in the future.
